HC Deb 26 November 1975 vol 901 cc221-2W
Mr. Wyn Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many children below the compulsory school age are expected to begin formal education in 1976–77 compared with the three preceding years.

Mr. John Morris

The total numbers of children under five who were receiving full-time or part-time education in a nursery or primary school in each of the last three years are as follows:

January 1973 37,469
January 1974 40,893
January 1975 44,164
I cannot foresee what the figures will be for 1976–77.
