Mr. Doddsasked the Minister of Health if he is aware of the public concern at the announcement by the Kent County Council that, following the closing of 12 nursery schools in 1950 and 1951, and 12 remaining schools are to be closed on 31st March; and if he will refuse his sanction to the council's proposals to close these nursery schools.
§ Mr. CrookshankI am informed that there are only two nursery schools in Kent, and assume that the question refers to day nurseries. I have received the Kent County Council's proposal for the closure of their day nursery service and am considering it.
