§ 78. Mr. Jannerasked the Minister of Education whether she is aware that it is estimated that by July next more than 400 infants will be unable to attend schools on the New Park Estates, Leicester; that by July, 1954, there will be 700 children of infant school age who will not be placed in schools on the estate and that there is a serious lack of junior schools to meet the needs of children in future; and what steps she proposes to take to deal with this position.
§ Miss HorsbrughThe local education authority have already made arrangements whereby all infant children from the estate can be accommodated in school this term. As I indicated in my answer of the 24th April, the authority will be providing additional temporary classrooms at schools on the estate during the current financial year.
