HC Deb 22 April 1985 vol 77 c361W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many children in each county in England and Wales have been in a nursery school or a nursery classs and received nursery education prior to entry into school; what percentage of the age group this represents in each case; and how many have received more than 12 months' nursery education.

Mr. Dunn

The information requested is not collected centrally. I would, however, refer the hon. Member to the reply my right hon. Friend gave on 27 March, at columns 213–16, for information on children receiving nursery education as at January 1984. Information for Wales is the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales.
