Welfare Reform Bill

I speak as one of those parents who went back to work when my children were only a few weeks' old, but does my hon. Friend agree that society should have respect for a parent's decision? If a child needs the parent to be at home, we should actually value the fact that parents want to take care of their children, while at the same time we should allow them to avail themselves of opportunities to get back into the world of work if they want to.
