HC Deb 23 March 1988 vol 130 c151W
Mr. Archer

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has any plans to seek to bring child-minding within the ambit of legislation on the hours and conditions of children's employment.

Mrs. Currie

Childminders are required to be registered by local authorities under the Nurseries and Childminders Regulation Act 1948. It is not considered that a local authority would register a child aged under 16 as a childminder.
