§ Mr. Ron Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many nursery schools or nursery classes there are in the city of Carlisle; and what are the prospects for an extension of these classes and schools.
§ Mr. CroslandThere are no nursery schools or nursery classes in Carlisle. It is not at present possible to allow any general expansion of nursery provision but local education authorities know that they may establish new nursery classes in existing premises if this is likely to produce a net increase in the number of teachers.
