Size of Classes

HC Deb 21 November 1957 vol 578 cc58-9W

57. Mr. Swingler

asked the Minister of Education why the figures for the size of classes in England and Wales in January, 1957, are not yet available.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

The reason is that the Government have regarded economy of staff and saving of expenditure as more important than the maintenance of a fixed time-table.
