HC Deb 10 July 1984 vol 63 c468W
25. Mr. Park

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will allow claimants on training opportunities scheme courses to remain entitled to benefit to pay fees for childminding.

Dr. Boyson

There has never been any provision in the supplementary benefit regulations to allow benefit for payment of childminding fees incurred by claimants on training opportunities scheme courses. The Government have no proposals to introduce such a provision.
