HC Deb 16 December 1971 vol 828 cc840-2
23. Mrs. Monks

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science which local authorities are providing places in nursery schools and classes under the urban programme.

Mr. van Straubenzee

The provision of 16,300 places by 76 local education authorities in England has been approved. With permission, I will circulate details in the OFFICIAL REPORT. About 2,000 additional places will be approved shortly in areas of high unemployment.

Mrs. Monks

May I congratulate my right hon. Friend on the emphasis she is putting on this provision and say how glad I am to note that a large increase is proposed?

Mr. van Straubenzee

I am much obliged to my hon. Friend. She will find when the details are circulated that they are of considerable assistance.
