HC Deb 17 June 1997 vol 296 c137W
Mrs. Gillan Shephard

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what estimate he has made of the cost to local education authorities of informing parents and providers about the nursery arrangements applying in their areas. [4152]

Mr. Byers

The responsibility for, and cost of, informing parents and providers about the nursery arrangements for 1997–98 continues to fall to DfEE. The extent to which LEAs enhance this information will be for them to decide in the light of local circumstances.
