§ Mrs. Bridget PrenticeTo ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will list, for each Greater London borough, the percentages of children under five years old currently registered as attending local authority funded nursery schools; and if he will list for each of the boroughs what percentage of under fives attended maintained nursery schools in 1986, 1988, 1990 and 1992.
§ Mr. ForthParticipation rates for January 1992—the latest date for which information is available—are shown in the table. Because of recent revisions to the population estimates to take account of the provisional results of the 1991 national census of population, information is not available on a comprehensive basis for earlier years at individual authority level.
