asked the Minister of Health the average cost per week of keeping a child in a day nursery; and the highest amount and the lowest amount in any local authority.

Mr. Iain Macleod

Provisional figures for 1950–51 give the average gross cost of a nursery place as £2 5s. ld. per week. The highest and lowest figures for individual local health authorities are £3 9s. 6d. and 18s. 4d. per week.
