§ Mr. Hastingsasked the Minister of Education why a place has not been made available to the child referred to in her letter of 24th September, 1952, to the hon. Member for Barking, as was promised by the headmistress of the school to the father of the child.
§ Miss HorsbrughAs I have explained to the hon. Member in the correspondence to which he refers, I see no reason for intervening in this matter. I understand that since 1951 housing developments made it necessary for the local education authority to restrict new admissions to the school concerned.
