Proceeding contribution from Baroness Afshar (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 11 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

I am very grateful to the Minister for the assurances given on childcare provisions. In the second case given of Becky Jones, who finally found a provision that suited her, were she to object to the third possibility, would she still be considered to have reasonable rights? What would happen to her at that stage? I ask that especially as we are coming across nurseries such as the one in Plymouth, which has had to be closed because of the character of the carer. Where does reasonableness stop and unreasonableness start?
