§ 35. Mr. Skinnerasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will take steps to provide indoor toilet facilities for all schoolchildren in the county of Derbyshire.
§ Dr. Boyson: It is for the Derbyshire education authority to decide how much of its annual school building allocation should be spent on providing indoor toilet facilities. The White Paper on public expenditure—Cmnd. No. 7841—allows for school building improvement programmes in each year from 1981–82 to 1983–84 to be nearly half as much again as the programme of £12 million starts already announced for 1980–81.
