§ Mr. Faulds
asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she is satisfield that all schools in the Warley area comply with the recommendations of current fire prevention legislation.

§ Mr. St. John-Stevas
Educational buildings are not yet subject to the Fire Precautions Act 1971, although an order to this effect will be made in due course. In the meantime I understand that Warley has invited its Chief Fire Officer to inspect existing schools and has already undertaken some work on his recommendations.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the total number of teachers presently employed in primary and secondary schools in Warley; and what were the comparable figures for each of the last three years.
