HC Deb 05 July 1983 vol 45 c67W
8. Ms. Richardson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will take steps to increase the level of provision of nursery education.

35. Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what proposals he has to develop nursery education.

Mr. Dunn

The Government's policies already allow for a gradual increase in provision, and the proportion of 3 and 4-year-olds receiving nursery education in 1982 was 22 per cent., the highest ever.
