HC Deb 11 March 1994 vol 239 cc447-8W
Ms Harman

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will provide the latest estimates of the percentage of children under five in each OECD country who have full-time or part-time child care places, including nursery school places.

Mr. Bowis

Information on child care places for under-fives in the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development countries is not available. The OECD published in 1993Education at a Glance, a copy of which is available in the Library. This includes information on participation rates for children aged under five in early childhood education in general for OECD countries.
