HC Deb 27 April 1950 vol 474 c130W
107. Mr. Black

asked the Minister of Health whether he will take action to enable local authorities to make a proper charge in respect of children in day nurseries under their control in cases in which the circumstances of the parents do not justify the cost of the care and maintenance of the children falling. upon public funds.

Mr. Bevan

Any alteration in the basis of the charges now made would require legislation.
