HC Deb 20 March 1952 vol 497 c238W
123. Mr. Mitchison

asked the Minister of Education whether she is aware of the need for nursery schools in Kettering and other parts of Northamptonshire, where many mothers are employed in local industries; how many nursery schools there are in Kettering; how many in other parts of Northamptonshire; how many the local education authorities propose to close; and whether she will disapprove.

Miss Horsbrugh

The local education authorities concerned tell me that they have no intention of closing any of the six nursery schools in Northampton or either of the two in Northamptonshire, which are at Kettering and Wellingborough, respectively.
