| Message | We would be prepared to subsidise nurseries for all: but not to favour those categorised as poor in this nature. Creating a welfare culture would not benefit the Holy Empire. |

| Message | OOC: West Riding, the available legislative options on this issue are: - The government leaves development of nurseries to the private sector. - The government maintains a system of free publically owned nursery and pre-school educational centres. - The government maintains a system of free publically owned nurseries alongside heavily regulated private establishments. - The government maintains a system of free publically owned nurseries alongside unregulated private establishments. - The government leaves the pre-school education policy to local governments. - Pre-school education is private, but the government covers the schoolcosts of poor families. As you can see, an option for subsidising everybody's private nursery fees universally doesn't exist, even if it should do. Maybe you'll reconsider your position in the light of this? :-) |

| Message | OOC: Thanks, West Riding IC: Would anybody else be prepared to support either "The government leaves development of nurseries to the private sector" or "The government leaves the pre-school education policy to local governments"? |

| Message | ooc: You can't change it now; you'd probably been better off leaving it in debate. Maybe we should have a three month bill-in-debate period for possible clause changes? |

| Message | We are entirely in support of the current policy. The first one you mentioned. |
