§ 21. Mrs. FyfeTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what assessment he has made of the future availability of nursery education combined with day care. [12059]
§ Mr. WilsonOur first priority is to offer pre-school education to all children in their pre-school year, as we undertook in the Manifesto and I shall be issuing a major consultation paper on pre-school education later in the autumn. We shall move as soon as practicable thereafter to consider associated daycare needs, as well as the extension of pre-school education to younger children.
