HC Deb 04 December 1984 vol 69 c94W
38. Mrs. Clwyd

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how much it would cost in capital and recurrent expenditure to provide (a) part-time and (b) full-time nursery education for all three and four-year-olds.

Mr. Dunn

An estimate would require detailed information on a number of matters—for example, the location and numbers of those in the age group not now provided for, the location and availability of spare capacity and the extent of new building provision required.— which could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
