HC Deb 28 June 1994 vol 245 c544W
Mrs. Golding

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement about the out-of-school child care initiative; and what are his future plans for the initiative.

Miss Widdecombe

The out-of-school child care initiative was piloted in 40 training and enterprise council areas in 1993–94, leading to the creation of over 4,000 after school and holiday places. From April 1994 to March 1996, the initiative will be delivered by every TEC, and we hope to create up to 50,000 new places across Great Britain.
