HC Deb 06 June 1957 vol 571 c128W
69. Mr. Callaghan

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education if he is aware that children who have reached the age of 5 years are being refused admission to schools in Cardiff; and how soon this state of affairs will be remedied.

Sir E. Boyle

In some new housing areas the Cardiff local education authority is unable to admit children to school until the beginning of the term after they are 5. This is likely to continue for two or three years pending the completion of three new schools, and additions to two others, which my noble Friend has approved.
