§ 35. Mr. Thompsonasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will review his requirements under regulations for nursery provision in such matters as lavatories and washing facilities in order to make such provision simpler and cheaper.
§ Dr. BoysonI refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Cornwall North (Mr. Neale), on 3 July.—[Vol. 987, c.717.] One of the changes proposed to the school premises standards is a reduction in the present requirements for washbasins and lavatories in nursery, primary and secondary schools. Adoption of this proposal would lead to savings in capital expenditure.
