HC Deb 11 June 1953 vol 516 c427
8. Mr. Hayman

asked the Minister of Education at which schools in Cornwall admission is now being refused to children who have reached the age for compulsory school attendance.

Miss Horsbrugh

I am informed that all children in Cornwall who reached the age of five before the beginning of the present term have been found places in school, though in two areas children were not able to be admitted to the school of their first choice.

Mr. Hayman

Will the Minister make further inquiries as to what the position is this term?

Miss Horsbrugh

Yes. I have given the hon. Gentleman the up-to-date figures.
