HC Deb 29 July 1943 vol 391 cc1784-5
80. Mr. Lindsay

asked the Minister of Health how many war nurseries have now been established by his Department?

Mr. E. Brown

At the end of June, 1,315 war-time nurseries were in operation, 234 more were approved but not yet in operation, and 113 were in an earlier stage of preparation, making a total at all stages of 1,662.

Sir H. Williams

Can my right hon. Friend indicate roughly the percentage of usage of war nurseries?

Mr. Brown

I shall be glad to do that if the question is put down.
