HC Deb 12 June 1991 vol 192 c590W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what discussions he has had with the Confederation of British Industry to encourage companies to develop child care provision within their organisation to assist women at work; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Jackson

The CBI is represented on the advisory committee on women's employment which I chair. Child care has been discussed on a number of occasions. I welcome all steps by the CBI and other employers' organisations to encourage the adoption of flexible working arrangements and help with child care to assist working parents.
