§ Mr. J. Griffithsasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how 99W many applications he has received during the past five years from the local education authorities in Wales for the provision of primary and secondary schools at which the Welsh language would be the medium of tuition; and how many of these applications were granted.
§ Mr. HoggSince January, 1960, my Department has received ten proposals, seven primary and three secondary, from Welsh local education authorities for the provision, in mainly English-speaking areas, of schools or departments in which the Welsh language would be the main medium of instruction. All these proposals have been approved. Six of these schools or departments were formed by the reorganisation of existing schools, and four by the establishment of new schools under Section 14 of the Education Act, 1944.
