§ Mr. Alex CarlileTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what money was made available in 1993 to help employers, voluntary groups or schools set up after-school care; and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsIn 1993–94, £153,000 is available in Wales for after-school and holiday care through the Government's out of school child care grant initiative. A further £18,240 has been made available through the child and family services scheme to support a kids club network development officer in south-east Wales.
The Chwarae Teg Consortium is co-ordinating the childcare grant initiative on behalf of the training and enterprise councils. It is proposed to spend a further £2 million on the initiative over the next three financial years.
