Mr. Meacher

To ask the Lord President of the Council, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Oldham, West, 24 May,Official Report, column 297, if he will make it his policy to ensure that (a) the staff unions and (b) the staff creche committee are consulted about the design and operation of the feasibility study of the provision of child care facilities in the House.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

Extensive consultations over the past few years in relation to the provision of child care facilities have clearly identified the nature of provision desired by both groups to which the hon. Member refers. They will, however, be given the opportunity to update their observations once the feasibility study has been completed.
