§ Mr. McNamaraTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what are the child care or nursery facilities within his Department; and what is the breakdown in their use(a) by grade and (b) by gender. [15231]
§ Mr. NelsonThe Treasury participates in the Westminster holiday playscheme. Until the end of July 1994, my Department also offered subsidised places at a Westminster-based nursery for short-term emergency use. However, due to lack of demand, it gave poor value for money and the contract was not renewed.
The use by Treasury staff of the Department's child care and nursery facilities in 1994 broken down by grade and gender is set out in the following tables.
