HC Deb 10 April 1941 vol 370 c1669
8. Miss Cazalet

asked the Minister of Labour what provision has been made in London for children under school age whose mothers are anxious to do war work?

Mr. Bevin

The circumstances of London are different from those of many provincial areas. I understand that in several areas on the outskirts of London the Ministry of Health are arranging for the establishment of day nurseries.

Miss Cazalet

Will my right hon. Friend consult with the President of the Board of Education with a view to using some of the infants' departments for children under five?

Mr. Bevin

I thank the hon. Lady for the suggestion.
