24. Miss Bacon

asked the Minister of Education how many additional pupils are expected to enter schools by the end of 1954

Miss Horsbrugh

The best forecast that I can make on present information is that by January, 1955, the maintained and assisted primary and secondary schools will have on their registers about 115,000 more pupils than they have now.
