Welfare Reform Bill

I apologise for coming in slightly late on this. Will the Minister remind us whether there are any changes to the childcare arrangements for disabled children—which, as he will remember, allow that childcare to take place in the child’s home rather than in the home of a registered childminder—and that therefore a family member could take on that responsibility? Would that family member, most likely to be a grandparent, be eligible, as a result, for childcare costs, especially if they have become registered as a childminder, so that the obligation that there has to be another child, and for the care to be in the minder’s home, would not apply in those circumstances?
