British Boxing Board of Control
Mr. John Carlisle : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on his recent meeting with the British Boxing Board of Control.
Mr. Atkins : I had a constructive meeting with the BBBC on 16 October. My purpose in calling the meeting was to encourage discussion between medical specialists and the BBBC on safety in professional boxing. I understand that, as a result, the BBBC is intending to instigate regulations to include most of the recommendations proposed at that meeting.
Manchester Olympic Bid
Mr. John Carlisle : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he last met the chairman of the Manchester Olympic Bid Committee ; and what was discussed.
Mr. Atkins : My right hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary for the Environment and I met the chairman of the bid committee together with representatives from the British Olympic Association and Manchester city council on 5 November to discuss progress with the bid.
School Swimming Facilities
Mr. John Carlisle : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he expects the survey of school swimming facilities to be completed.
Mr. Atkins : Schools and local education authorities have been asked to complete and return survey questionnaires to the Department by 22 November 1991. The survey is intended to provide a picture of the access schools have to swimming pools ; the number of pools on school sites ; the recurrent costs associated with swimming provision ; and the cost of building learner pools where necessary. This information will help determine when a requirement can be introduced for all primary age pupils to be taught to swim.
