§ Lord Balnielasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the explanation of the fall, since 1949, in the number of children reported by local education authorities to local health authorities as being unsuitable for education at school, in view of the fact that the school population has increased in that time by 1,400.000 and that there was also an increase in the number of children at training centres.
§ Mr. CroslandI regret that sufficient information on which to base a satisfactory explanation is not available.
