Weekly Round Up Of Parliamentary Nonsense XII

We appear to have done quite well this week with the Round Up as a great many of our parliamentary pedants have scribbled their questions down in time for the 76 day recess.

Special mention today must go to Sarah Teather (using
Tim Roll-Pickering’s favourite illustration of her) as she is clearly swapping a soapbox for an earth tray. Hats off to you Sarah…

Sarah Teather: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many (a) primary and (b) secondary schools have toilets fitted with (i) hippos, (ii) cistern and flush controls and (iii) other water saving devices. [87376]

Sarah Teather: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the required toilet to (a) male and (b) female staff ratio is in (i) primary and (ii) secondary schools. [86982]

Sarah Teather: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many (a) primary and (b) secondary schools in (i) England, (ii) each region and (iii) each local education authority have outdoor toilets that are still in use. [86992]

Mr. Willis: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will introduce legislation to make it a requirement for all bicycles to be fitted with bells at all times whilst being ridden. [87358]

Mrs. Spelman: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what stock was transferred from the Government wine cellar to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister in 2005-06. [85708]

Mr. Hoyle: To ask the Prime Minister who provided the tractor that the Prime Minister used to launch Red Tractor Day, in Downing Street on 20 April; and where it was manufactured. [87421]

It’s recess time in Parliament now dear Guttersnipes so the Round Up will return when they do.
