HC Deb 04 July 1989 vol 156 c123W
40. Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he has any plans to increase the funding for local education authority run nursery school places.

Mrs. Rumbold

Our plans for the current financial year allow for a continuation of the steady expansion of provision for the under-fives which has marked the last decade. Provision for local education authorities' spending on education in 1990–91 is still to be determined.
