HC Deb 05 March 1990 vol 168 c436W
Ms. Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to monitor child care provision offered by local authorities.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

Local authorities regularly provide the Department with statistics about the provision for pre-school children in their locality including the services they provide themselves. This is published annually in "Children's Day Care Facilities at 31 March" and is available in the Library.
