§ Mr. Lomasasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware that immigrant children now constitute 10.8 per cent. of the school population in Huddersfield, divided almost equally between West Indians and Asians; and if he will take these figures into account when allocating money to those local authorities with special problems.
§ Mr. EnnalsHuddersfield is one of a number of urban authorities which have been asked to submit proposals for expenditure on nursery provision and child care in the current financial year and 1969–70 which will be eligible for Government aid. One of the factors used in selecting the authorities invited to participate in this initial phase of the Government's urban programme was the percentage of immigrant children in the school population.
