asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many nursery schools are building in Scotland; and how many children will they take when completed.

None is being erected two, however, are projected.

Can my hon. Friend say the approximate dates when these will be completed?

It is quite impossible at this stage to give the dates

Can the hon. Lady say at what stage of construction these schools are at the present moment?

In my original reply I stated that they were projected.

Does that mean that they will not be commenced until five or 10 years' time.

No, Sir; these two schools only are to be built in the immediate future.
