88 and 89. Miss Leeasked the Minister of Education (1) how far children of five years of age living in Moat Green Avenue, Wednesfield, Staffordshire, have to travel to school;
(2) if he is aware of the difficulties facing mothers of children of five and six years of age in the Moat Green Avenue area of Wednesfield, Staffordshire, because of the distance the children have to travel to school; and what steps he is taking to ease their problem.
§ Sir D. EcclesNo child in this area has to walk more than three-quarters of a mile to school, and there is an adult patrol at the crossing of the main road. The parents should not be involved in any unreasonable difficulty, and even when new primary schools are built there will no doubt be some children who will have to walk this distance.
