HC Deb 27 November 1969 vol 792 c123W
Mr. Barnett

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the national average age at which children first start school, and how this compares with the position in Heywood, Royton, Crompton, Milnrow, Little-borough, Wardle, and Whitworth, respectively.

Miss Bacon

The regular returns to the Department by local education authorities relate to the ages of pupils in years only and this information could not therefore be made available without a disproportionate expenditure of time and money.
