§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales (1) what plans he has to increase nursery schooling in those parts of Wales where spending has been reduced; and if he will make a statement;
(2) if he has any plans to meet local education authorities in Wales to discuss an increase in the provision of nursery education.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsThe provision of education in school for children under the age of five is at the discretion of local education authorities. Neither my right hon. Friend nor I have any plans to meet authorities to discuss nursery education.
