Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 9 June 2009. It occurred during Committee proceeding and Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

Before the Minister reiterates the various arguments, I should say that on this matter of the cost of childcare—and when it is available, when it is suitable and so on—it may well be unsuitable because it is unaffordable. The Minister has said twice this afternoon that subvention is available from central government in those cases. Can he expand on that and tell us what the budget is for that?
