§ 77. Mr. Jannerasked the Minister of Health if he is aware that some local authorities are considering closing down day nurseries; and whether she will send a circular to all local authorities recommending that these nurseries should not be closed down owing to the hardship which would be caused to mothers who must work.
§ Miss Hornsby-SmithMy right hon. Friend has no doubt that local authorities, when closing day nurseries, will deal with any cases of hardship for which it is their duty as health authorities to provide, and he does not think it necessary to issue a circular on the subject.
