Proceeding contribution from Countess of Mar (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 sorry to interrupt the noble Lord, but I am in some difficulty. He said over and over again that the final decision on childcare rests with the mother. He has not made any qualification to that. He has not said "after three or four choices"; he has said it bluntly: "childcare rests with the mother". Please can he tell us: what is the position?
