§ Mr. Rossiasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science, how much of the allowance granted for educational priority areas will be used for nursery education.
§ Mr. Edward ShortAs my predecessor informed the House on 30th November, 1967, it was not intended that the £16 million for school building in educational priority areas should cater for any new departure in nursery education. Nevertheless, among the proposals 261W approved were 23 which included the replacement of existing nursery classrooms or the provision of new ones under current policy. The value of these nursery elements cannot be separately identified.—[Vol. 755, c. 619–20.]
