Mr. Edward M. Taylorasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will inquire into the need for nursery school accommodation in Castlemilk and other major housing developments; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RossIn view of the other demands on capital investment it has not been possible for me to authorise the building of new nursery schools generally. I have, however, approved the building of one nursery school in Castle-milk and one in Easterhouse to replace schools in redeveloped areas. In addition, I hope to approve the provision of additional nursery school places in areas of special social need under the urban programme.
