Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many Sure Start centres have closed in Halifax constituency since May 2010; and the (a) name and (b) postcode of each centre.

Based on information supplied by Calderdale local authority, no centres have closed in Halifax constituency since May 2010. The list of children’s centres closed since May 2010 is based on information supplied by Calderdale local authority as of 18 July 2024.
