Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thomas of Winchester (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 22 June 2009. It occurred during Committee proceeding and Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
We on this side of the Committee would be interested to know how the Minister replies on childcare for older children. There is a lot of misunderstanding about the age at which a child must have somebody looking after them. There is one perception, but I am not sure that 14 is a relevant age in law. It would be interesting to know what the reply is on that. This was reflected in the evidence-taking session in the other place. Someone from one of the groups—it may be have been Gingerbread—said that it was much harder finding childcare for older children than it is for younger children. It is an important question.
