asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) how many primary and infant schools in the county districts of the Greater Manchester Metropolitan County have outside toilets;(2) how many secondary schools in the county districts of the Metropolitan County of Greater Manchester have outside toilets.

From a small sample survey in 1976 it has been estimated that about 7,500 schools throughout England and Wales have some toilet facilities which are detached from the main teaching accommodation. The sample was too small to allow an estimate to be made for Greater Manchester.
