Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what proportion of three to five-year-olds attend publicly funded day nurseries.

Mr. Bowis

Information collected by the Department of Health relates to the number of children aged under five attending local authority day nurseries and the number placed and paid for by local authorities in other types of day nursery. At 31 March 1993, there were 8.8 children per thousand aged under five in these two categories.
