*La/Co. Mr. John Rankin (Glasgow, Govan): To ask the
Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he will consult with the Government of Hong Kong with a view to introducing free primary education for all children within the ages of six to 11 years: and how many young persons in that age group are not, at present, attending school.
NO. 26
MR. EVAN LUARD
It is the Hong Kong Government's aim to
provide free primary education for all who desire
it and we are in constant touch with the Hong Kong
Government about this issue. The total number of
places available in Government and subsidised
primary schools is expected by the end of this
year to exceed the estimated number of children
of primary school age desiring places in such
schools.
