§ 39. Mr. HansonTo ask the right hon. Member for Berwick-upon-Tweed, as representing the House of Commons Commission, what recent representations he has received about providing additional facilities for Members' children during the parliamentary recess; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BeithThe Commission itself has received no such representations on this issue. Details of the Westminster holiday play scheme, in which the children of Members, their staff and staff of the House may participate, were publicised in the all-party notice and circulated to staff. In addition, progress is being made in the preparation of a questionnaire, which will be circulated in the autumn, as part of a survey to determine potential demand for child care facilities.
