§ Dame Joan Vickersasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many children were attending independent nursery schools in the last year for which figures are available; and to what extent this figure is likely to be affected by the imposition of the Selective Employment Tax on persons employed in independent nursery schools.
§ Mr. Redhead4,533 full-time and 1,787 part-time in January 1965. I cannot estimate what effect, if any, the Selective Employment Tax will have on these attendances.
