Mr. Byers

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what advice she has evaluated on the legal consequences of refusing to pay child care costs to unemployed women under the pilot project work scheme. [25880]

Mr. Forth

I have considered advice from officials on legal and policy aspects of the matter.

Mr. Byers

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what plans her Department has to pay the child care costs of unemployed women who are unable to attend the new pilot project work scheme because of lack of help with child care. [25882]

Mr. Forth

I have no such plans. The evaluation of the pilots will cover this and all other aspects of the pilot process.
