HC Deb 03 March 1965 vol 707 cc268-9W
Mr. William Yates

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the number of nursery schools to be built in the education programme for 1965–66; and where and at what cost they will be built.

Mr. Crosland

Since 1960 the establishment of new nursery schools has not been allowed. It is open to local education authorities to rebuild existing nursery schools within their minor works allocations, but I have no information about any such projects which may be planned for 1965–66.
