HC Deb 28 July 1982 vol 28 c581W
29. Mr. Robert Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is satisfied with the level of pre-school provision in Scotland.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

It is the responsibility of each local authority to decide on the level of pre-school provision in the light of their own judgment of their priorities and I have no reason to believe that the authorities are not exercising their discretion appropriately.
