HC Deb 24 July 1978 vol 954 c598W
Mr. Farr

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will publish in the Official Report the percentage of schoolchildren housed in temporary classrooms in each education authority area in England and Wales.

Miss Margaret Jackson

I regret that my Department does not have the detailed information requested. A recent sample of school buildings indicated that in England and Wales as a whole 11 per cent. of places in primary schools and 7 per cent. of places in secondary schools were in temporary accommodation in January 1975.
