§ 21. Mrs. Doris Fisherasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will send a circular to local authorities about the use of schools in coastal 190W areas for educational purposes during holiday periods to give added opportunities for children from large urban areas.
§ Mrs. ThatcherNo, Sir. Local authorities already have wide powers to use facilities outside their own areas, and many do so. I hope that all local authorities will do more to ensure that expensive educational buildings are used to the fullest possible extent.
