Viscountess Davidsonasked the Minister of Health (1) whether in any further evacuation of school children he will allow parents to register children of three to five years of age, or any category of such children to accompany elder brothers or sisters who are already going with school parties;
(2) whether he will encourage the establishment of a child-care service to provide various classes of workers to look after evacuated children under five years of age 1395W in nursery centres in reception areas, and the children of munition workers in day nurseries?
Mr. M. MacDonaldThe evacuation of younger children raises a number of problems, particularly in regard to their reception. In my consideration of this matter I will have regard to the points raised in these two Questions.
