§ 47. Mr. Kirbyasked the Minister of Health whether the Liverpool Port, Sanitary and Hospitals Committee have notified him of their intention to close two municipal day nurseries; whether he is aware that such action would be widely deplored and might lead to the mothers of the children having to relinquish necessary wage-earning employment in order to care for their children at home; and, to avoid causing these mothers to seek public assistance, will he take steps to investigate fully any contemplated reduction in day-nursery accommodation in Liverpool?
§ Mr. BernaysMy right hon. Friend has not received any such notification from the city council. He will communicate with them and inform the hon. Member of the result.
