HC Deb 04 February 1943 vol 386 c1033
26. Major Peto

asked the Minister of Health whether the entire accommodation in war-time nurseries is fully taken up; and, if not, whether he can take any steps to increase their popularity?

Mr. E. Brown

The returns which I receive show that in general the nurseries are well occupied. Their existence is usually well known in the districts in which they are opened, and I do not think there is any need for further general publicity at the present time. If my hon. and gallant Friend has any particular case in mind, I shall be glad to look into it.

Mr. Wakefield

Can the right hon. Gentleman say how much man-power saving there has been as a result of these war-time nurseries?

Mr. Brown

Not in answer to this Question.
