Proceeding contribution from Helen Goodman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Childcare Bill.


Childcare Bill

Clause 6 places a duty on local authorities to secure sufficient child care for working parents. Does the Secretary of State agree that, while not calling for public expenditure, it is a route through which more funds will go into child care, because the working tax credit, which is not cash limited, means that more funds will go to child care when more places are available?
