HC Deb 05 December 1968 vol 774 cc558-60W
Mr. J. E. B. Hill

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will set out in tabular form the bids in response to Ministry of Health Circular 35/68 received from the 34 urban authorties with areas of special social need, giving the number of further day nurseries projected, the estimated capital and recurrent costs, and the number of child places so provided.

Mr. Ennals

The proposals received (some of them provisional) amount to 31 new day nurseries with up to 1,530 places, the replacement of 15 existing nurseries with 101 additional places and the extension or adaptation of 16 existing nurseries for 148 additional places. Further details in tabular form are shown below. The actual capital costs will not be known until my Department has been able to consider each scheme in detail.
