§ 57. Lady CYNTHIA MOSLEYasked the President of the Board of Education whether he is in a position to state plans for the more general extension of nursery schools; and whether he proposes to ask for powers to require local authorities to establish nursery schools in their areas?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANI am considering the beet way of securing an extension of nursery schools, but I cannot make any definite statement before the House rises to-morrow.
§ Lady CYNTHIA MOSLEYIn view of the fact that the very poor districts are the districts that most urgently need nursery schools, will the right hon. Gentleman consider giving an increased grant in those districts?
Viscountess ASTORWill the right hon. Gentleman consider receiving soon a deputation from those interested in nursery schools?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANI am considering all the aspects of the question, but I shall no doubt possibly see someone.
§ Sir C. TREVELYANIt depends on the deputation. I am very ready to meet any Members of this House, or anybody who speaks for any large body of public opinion.
Viscountess ASTORWould the Minister receive the woman most responsible for nursery schools—Miss McMillan.
§ Sir C. TREVELYANOf course, I would.
