HC Deb 02 March 1966 vol 725 cc314-5W
Mr. Urwin

asked the President of the Board of Trade (1) to what extent he has used his powers to provide nursery accommodation on or near industrial estates;

(2) if he will now consider the provision of a children's nursery on the Houghton-le-Spring industrial estate in order to encourage more married women to enter into employment.

Mr. Jay

The Board of Trade have as yet provided no nursery accommodation on or near their industrial estates. I am prepared to consider the provision of such accommodation if there is an adequate demand.
