HC Deb 04 February 1975 vol 885 cc444-5W
23. Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will now take steps to compile national statistics on the training, supply demand and recruitment of nursery nurses with the NNEB qualifications.

Mr. Prentice

Statistics are already available on the number of NNEB students in training in England and Wales and on the number of nursery nurses employed by local authorities. Recruitment and future demand for nursery nurses are matters for the local authorities, which are the main employers.
