HC Deb 23 January 1930 vol 234 c321
38. Mr. T. GRIFFITHS

asked the President of the Board of Education how many new nursery schools have been approved in the period July to December, 1929, inclusive; what number are now under construction; and the average initial cost of building a new school?

Sir C. TREVELYAN

Proposals for nine new Nursery Schools were approved in the period 1st July to 31st December, 1929. So far as my information goes, there are nine schools at present under construction. The average cost of providing a new Nursery School, on the basis of a number of recent examples, is about £34 per place.
