(Stockport) (Lab) [V]: I am proud to have
not one but three maintained nursery schools in my Stockport
constituency. Hollywood Park, Lark Hill and Freshfield serve my
constituency excellently, and families across our country benefit
from our maintained nursery school system. However, research by
the National Education Union reveals
that there are only 389 such schools left in England, many of which
are located in the most deprived areas of the country. Will the
Leader of the House agree to hold a debate in Government time
regarding maintained nursery schools and fair funding for them
going forward?
Mr Rees-Mogg: It is always good to hear Members
praising efficient organisations in their constituencies, and I
hope that the three maintained nursery schools in the hon.
Gentleman’s constituency will note what he has said. There is
obviously a variety of nursery provision, but I will happily pass
this matter on to the Secretary of State for Education.
