asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many 3- and 4-year-old children, respectively, are currently receiving full-time nursery education in the administrative county of East Suffolk; and what percentage of their age groups each represents.

In January 1972 there were 16 3-year-old and 1,081 4-year-old full-time pupils in primary schools. These represented 0.4 per cent. and 281 per cent. of births in 1968 and 1967 respectively.
