§ Mr. Gwynfor Evansasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science in what proportion of state nursery schools or classes in Wales the Welsh language is used as the medium of instruction.
§ Miss BaconThere are no State day nurseries in Wales established by a local health authority under Section 22 of the National Health Service Act, 1946.
In none of the 41 nursery schools established by local education authorities is the Welsh language used as the medium of instruction.
Welsh is the medium of instruction in nursery classes in the 39 Welsh primary schools and departments established in predominantly English-speaking areas and also in the neighbourhood schools in Welsh-speaking areas. Exact statistics are not available in respect of the latter group.
