HC Deb 16 May 1989 vol 153 c130W
Mr. Win Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he has any plans to examine the provision of education for the under-fives along the same lines as those recently announced by the Department of Education and Science in England; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The Minister of State, Department of Education and Science has established and will be chairing a committee of inquiry to consider the quality and content of the educational experience offered to under-five-year-olds, as one of the responses to the Education, Science and Arts Committee's report on educational provision for the under-fives in England. I shall be keeping in close touch with the work of this group, on which the Welsh Office has observer status.

I shall be keeping under review the need for any action in Wales in the light of the deliberations and findings of the new committee.
