HC Deb 31 January 1989 vol 146 c144W
Ms. Richardson

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what child care provision his Department provides for pre-school-age children of his Department's employees; what child care provision, for school holiday or after-school care, is provided for employees' children aged five years and over; and what plans there are for increasing provision in the next five years.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The driver and behicle licensing centre at Swansea runs an annual summer holiday play scheme for children of school age which is being extended to the Easter holidays this year for the first time.

Child care for 5 to 12-year-olds is again being provided for two weeks in August at the Cardington residential training centre.

The Department is considering what scope there is for further provision without continuing subsidy.
