23. Laura Moffatt

To ask the Minister for Women what representations she has received on the barriers to women working due to the lack of high-quality child care provision. [149754]

Ms Hewitt

My postbag leaves me in no doubt about how much high quality childcare provision gives real choices to women. This is why I welcome the announcements by the Chancellor in his Pre- Budget Report on record spending on childcare.
