HC Deb 04 December 1969 vol 792 c342W
77. Sir J. Rodgers

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will issue a further circular making it clear to county councils that the suggested standards for nursery schools which his Department circulated to local authorities are not mandatory and that they should be applied with a degree of flexibility.

Miss Lestor

No. Local education authorities are required to conform to the standards for nursery accommodation laid down in the Standards for School Premises Regulations.
