The Budget

I apologise for being slightly late, Mr Havard. I welcome the emphasis that the coalition Government have put on self-employment. In my constituency and in Ceredigion, a greater percentage of the work force are in self-employment than in any other constituency in the UK. One of the hurdles that people face when they go into self-employment is that the child care voucher scheme does not apply to self-employed people. May I suggest to the Chief Secretary that he look at that as another way of encouraging self-employment?
