Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:08 pm on 6 July 2021.
Well, it is for the local authority to ensure they’ve got sufficiency of places, and a range of schools—both Welsh and English-medium, faith and non-faith schools—are available in most areas. Of course, you’re always going to have some schools that are more popular than others, so there will be surplus places in some and not in others. I’m not aware of any local authority in Wales that does not have sufficient places at the current time.
