HC Deb 14 January 1994 vol 235 c322W
Mr. Blunkett

To ask the Secretary of State for Health when she intends to announce details of her plan to assist single mothers to return to the work force.

Mr. Bowis

The changes to the rules governing disregards and the entitlement to family credit, announced in the Budget by my right hon. and learned Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, will stimulate expansion of child care services. These changes have effect in October this year. We shall announce measures in the Department's field to support these important changes before then.
