§ Mr. McCuskerasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many sports halls of state for provided at (a) controlled grammar schools in Northern Ireland, (b) voluntary grammar schools in Northern Ireland (c) controlled secondary schools in Northern Ireland, and (d) maintained secondary schools in Northern Ireland; whether approvals for the provision of sports halls at any secondary schools have been withdrawn; and, if so, at which schools and on what grounds.
§ Mr. John PattenSports halls have been provided at four controlled grammar schools, 11 voluntary grammar schools, nine controlled intermediate schools, and 19 voluntary intermediate schools. In three cases—Antrim grammar school, Carrickfergus grammar school and Portadown College—approval which had previously been given for the provision of a sports hall has been withdrawn following reconsideration of the facilities already available in the schools and their immediate neighbourhood.
