HC Deb 12 February 1975 vol 886 cc133-4W
Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what discussions he has had with Lanarkshire Education Authority on the proposal to provide a remedial swimming pool at Drumpark Special School, Coatbridge; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. William Ross

None. This is not an education authority proposal. I understand that the Scots Guards offered to defray the cost of a prefabricated swimming pool for the school and that the education authority is anxious to co-operate with this generous gesture but that there are certain physical difficulties about the construction of such a pool on this particular site. I hope that these problems can be solved by the parties concerned.
