HC Deb 06 June 1984 vol 61 c186W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what would be the cost involved in finding out how many (a) primary and (b) secondary schools have installed lifts in order to accommodate physically handicapped pupils; and how many have sought to do so but have been unable to secure the necessary funds.

Mr. Dunn

The material necessary to estimate the cost is not available centrally, since to obtain the information referred to it would be necessary to inquire of all local education authorities; and only they could estimate the cost of their own consequential inquiries, which would form the major part of the total cost.
