asked the Minister of Education whether her attention has been drawn to the proposal to close Fairfield Nursery School, Camborne, the only one in Cornwall; and what action she proposes to take.

No proposal to close the Camborne nursery school has been made to me. I understand however that the local education authority are considering this matter, and I shall expect them to consult me if they conclude that the school should be closed.

asked the Minister of Education the position in regard to proposals made by Salop Education Committee for the closing of a number of their six nursery schools.

I understand that the local education authority are still considering this question and I have therefore, nothing to add to the reply I gave to the hon. Member on 6th March.
