HC Deb 11 December 1952 vol 509 c664
43. Mr. Beswick

asked the Minister of Labour what vacancies there are in the county of Middlesex for female labour.

Mr. Watkinson

I am having the available information compiled and will write to the hon. Member.

Mr. Beswick

Would the Parliamentary Secretary bear in mind that the action of the Middlesex County Council in increasing the charges for day nurseries from 10s. per week to a maximum of 45s. per week is causing many mothers to give up work which otherwise they would like to do, and would he call the attention of the county authority to this consequence of their action?

Mr. Watkinson

That is another question.
