HC Deb 08 November 1945 vol 415 c1581W
Mr. P. Freeman

asked the Minister of Health the number of day nurseries now established under his jurisdiction; the total number of children attending; and what proposals he has for developing and augmenting this service.

Mr. Bevan

At 30th September last there were 1,391 wartime nurseries providing 65,933 places; 62,632 children were on the Registers. As regards the last part of the Question, I cannot yet add anything to the answer I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Blackburn (Mrs. Castle) on 29th October.
