HC Deb 09 March 1950 vol 472 c13W
74. Commander Maitland

asked the Minister of Education how it is proposed to find accommodation for the 120,000 extra children who will be in school by the end of 1950.

Mr. Tomlinson

I do not understand the figure of 120,000 mentioned by the hon. Member. I think that in general the existing school provision and the new schools to be opened this year should be able to accommodate the additional children expected in the schools by the end of the year.
