HC Deb 19 January 1978 vol 942 c277W
Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the Attorney-General if he intends to propose any change in the law consequent upon the recent decision of the Chancery Division barring a woman from offering a childminding service in her own home.

The Solicitor-General

I understand that in the case to which the right hon. Member refers the defendants were held to be in breach of a restrictive covenant affecting their home. The time for appeal against the decision has not yet expired. The legal issues will be examined in the light of the ultimate decision in the case.
