percentage of the nursery voucher withheld by each local education authority from nursery schools in its control and indicate in
each case whether the schemes have received her Department's approval. [20531]
Mr. Robin Squire: Information on the amounts of nursery grant, if any, which local education authorities plan to hold back from
their schools is not supplied to the Department. Proposals for variations to schemes for local management of schools are still being
processed; decisions on all of these will be made by 31 March 1997.

Mr. Michael Brown: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if it is his policy that the United Kingdom may enter European currency
union without an accompanying fiscal union among participating member states. [17044]
Mr. Kenneth Clarke: Yes. If the United Kingdom were to join EMU we could face sanctions if we were consistently to run up budget
deficits of more than three per cent. of GDP and do nothing to correct them. Within that constraint, our budgetary choices would
rightly remain a matter for national Governments and parliaments.

Mr. Michael Brown: To ask the President of the Board of Trade what assessment his Department has made of the diversity of suppliers
of telecommunication services. [15048]
Mr. Ian Taylor: The Government's policy of progressive liberalisation has led to substantial and growing level of competition in the
provision of telecommunications infrastructure, and increased innovation in telecommunication services. As well as having a greater
choice than ever before, consumers are also benefiting from better quality of service and lower prices.
