§ 49. Mr. Morleyasked the Minister of Education how many children of five years of age and over are now unable to attend school because no places are available for them.
§ Sir D. EcclesI know of fewer than 20 such children of compulsory school age.
§ Mr. G. ThomasIs the Minister aware that numbers of authorities are telling parents that their children cannot be admitted until the end of the term in which they reach the age of five, which multiplies considerably the number of children coming into this category?
§ Sir D. EcclesIf the hon. Member will give me information about those authorities, I shall look into the matter.
