HC Deb 12 March 1990 vol 169 c136W
Mr. Tony Lloyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will make it his policy to make the provision of child care facilities one of the stringent criteria for an organisation to satisfy before securing approved training organisation status.

Mr. Nicholls

[holding answer 5 March 1990]: No. To make the provision of child care facilities a separate criterion from the existing criteria would not be appropriate. The criteria for approved status for training providers cover general themes, such as equal opportunities, rather than prescribing particular actions to implement them.
