To ask the Secretary of State for Education how many pre-school places for three to five-year-olds are provided in England and Wales by (a) local authorities, (b) private sector employees, (c) central Government for their own employees and (d) the private sector.

Mr. Bowis

I have been asked to reply.The information held centrally covers places for children aged under five in day nurseries, playgroups and with childminders. This shows local authority provision, registered and non-registered provision and is recorded in the publication "Children's Day Care Facilities at 31 March 1991, England", copies of which are available in the Library. The number of pre-school places provided in Wales is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales.
