HC Deb 11 November 1970 vol 806 cc162-3W
Mr. Gregor Mackenzie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether it is his intention to expand the nursery school building programme between 1972 and 1975; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Under the Urban Aid Programme introduced in 1968, approval has been given to the provision of over 1,000 new nursery places in areas of special social need in Scotland. Proposals for 300 places are now under consideration and I hope to approve further proposals as the programme continues. Further developments will take place as resources permit.
