HC Deb 15 February 1990 vol 167 cc368-9W
Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what action he is taking to encourage the establishment of workplace nurseries by Welsh employers; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Grist

The ministerial group on women's issues, on which the Department is represented, has been active in drawing employers' attention to the availability of tax relief on capital equipment and the running costs of workplace nurseries. Whether or not employers in Wales make such provision is a matter for their judgment.
