HC Deb 16 October 1996 vol 282 c981W
Mr. Win Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what provision he is currently making to develop child care facilities(a) in the workplace and (b) elsewhere; and what plans he has to extend such provision. [41098]

Mr. Jonathan Evans

The Welsh Office is supporting the development of child care for children of school age through the out of school child care grant initiative, and, for younger children, through the under-fives child care demonstration projects. The Government are currently consulting publicly on how child care might be developed, through the document "Work and Family: Ideas and Options for Child care", published by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Employment.
