§ Mr. FatchettTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what arrangements have been made by his Department for funding groups for the under-fives, currently funded by the community programme, after September 1988; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. RumboldThe community programme is funded by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Employment. I understand that the under-fives groups currently assisted by it operate in the field of child care rather than education and are therefore unlikely to be eligible for grant from my Department.
