§ 78. Mr. Meacherasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many local authority nursery places are at present taken up by the children of single-parent families; and what estimate he has made of the size of current unmet demand for such places from fatherless families.
§ Mr. AlisonI regret that figures for current use and demand are not available; but unmet need in England for facilities for the day care of children under five, including the children of single-parent families, is substantial.
