Mr. Sandys

Is my hon. Friend aware that the building of nursery schools was an outstanding feature in the programme of the Socialists in 1934?

Can the hon. Gentleman tell me how many nursery classes have been set up during the last three years, and will the hon. Gentleman also say that no nursery schools have ever been built by the Tories in London?
