Mr. Wigley
asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many classes there are in Wales according to the most recent primary school statistical return for (a) nursery and infant and (b) juniors in which Welsh is the sole or main medium of instruction; and what proportion these constitute of the total number of classes in each category.
Mr. Michael Roberts
The latest available information refers to September 1981, and is as follows:
| Classes taught wholly or mainly through the medium of Welsh | ||
| Nursery/infant classes | Junior classes | |
| Number of classes | 610 | 663 |
| Percentage of total number of classes | 13 | 11 |
