§ 67. Mr. Basil Nieldasked the Secretary of State for Air what schemes are in operation at Royal Air Force stations whereunder the wives of officers and men occupying married quarters may leave their children in a nursery on the station while they are away and whether such a nursery service is in operation at Sealand.
§ Mr. de FreitasThere is no official scheme, but at some stations the parents of young children get together and organise a nursery service. There is such a service at the Royal Air Force Station, Sealand. It is open two afternoons a week, and the mothers take turns in supervising it.
