HC Deb 11 December 1968 vol 775 c164W
Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland, how many nursery schools exist in Scotland and in particular in Aberdeen; what are the numbers and qualifications of their respective staffs; what is the number of children accommodated in each school; and what are his plans for the further extension of the relevant buildings and of the number of children to be accommodated.

Mr. Ross

Most of the figures asked for are given below. The numbers of children accommodated in each school in Scotland are not available.

Under the Government's recently announced Urban Programme a limited number of new nursery schools and classes are expected to be established in areas of social deprivation in the next 18 months. Until firm proposals are received and approved I cannot say how many children will be accommodated.
