HC Deb 20 April 1915 vol 71 c194
95. Mr. HOGGE

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether any provision is available for the financing of day nurseries in Scotland; and whether he can say what is the practice in England?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

No provision is made from rates or Imperial funds for the financing of day nurseries in Scotland. There are many such nurseries; but they are supported by voluntary funds. One of the medical inspectors of the Local Government Board for Scotland has been making inquiry into what the municipalities are doing for child welfare in the large cities.
