§ 55. Mr. Callaghanasked the Minister of Education how many children who have attained the age of five years since the beginning of the present school year have been refused admission to schools in Cardiff on grounds of overcrowding.
§ Mr. ChatawayNone, on grounds of overcrowding. All the children who reached the age of 5 years by 31st December, 1963, were admitted to schools in Cardiff not later than the beginning of term in January, 1964. It is understood that four children who had reached 5 years between 1st and 7th January, 1964, were incorrectly refused admission, but arrangements are now being made for their admission to school. All children reaching 5 during the present term, i.e., from 7th January, will be admitted to schools not later than the beginning of the summer term.
