§ Mr. Tom Boardmanasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the proportion of children in primary schools in the city of Leicester who are, or whose parents were, Commonwealth immigrants, and what is the highest proportion in any of such schools.
§ Miss BaconAbout 7 per cent. in January, 1967; the highest proportion in any Leicester primary school was 55 per cent.
§ Mr. BoardmanIn view of the real problem, which is now generally recognised, in regard to primary schools, will the right hon. Lady consider the concentration on the fixed resources available on extending and improving primary schools and abandoning the extravagant Socialist plans for complete comprehensive education?
§ Miss BaconNo, I could not promise that. Nevertheless, we are anxious to do everything possible to help where there is difficulty because of immigration.
