§ Mr. BradyTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what estimates she has made of the number of pupils of compulsory school age who had(a) not been offered a school place and (b) not accepted any school place offered on the first day of the current school term. [7273]
§ Mr. TimmsMy Department does not collect this information. It is for local authorities to ensure that a place is available for every child whose parents want one and that any children of compulsory school age attend school regularly.
