HC Deb 06 December 1951 vol 494 c307W
Mr. Irving

asked the Minister of Education how many children have been refused admission to school during the last year.

Miss Horsbrugh

I have no precise information. I understand there have been difficulties in some districts, but about 154,000 new places were brought into use in the 12 months ending on 1st October last, and in general the situation has been reasonably satisfactory.
