HC Deb 25 July 1989 vol 157 c585W
Mr. David Porter

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he has any plans to encourage education authorities and school governing bodies to establish work place or shared facility creches and similar incentives further to encourage the return of mothers to teaching.

Mrs. Rumbold

Under the education support grant programme for 1990–91, support is available for up to £2 million to boost the local recruitment of former teachers and mature entrants. Provision of creche and other child care facilities will be relevant expenditure for this activity.
