Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 12 November 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Social Security (Lone Parents and Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2008.


Social Security (Lone Parents and Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2008

Yes, it does. It is meant to be year round. By 2010 all secondary schools will open up on weekdays between 8 am and 6 pm all year round, offering a range of activities such as music and sport. Extended schools do not apply in Scotland—the noble Lord, Lord Kirkwood, raised this point—however, the Scottish Government and the Welsh Assembly Government have in place childcare strategies which aim to extend access to high-quality, affordable and flexible childcare. We have been working with them on those issues.
