To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many responses she has received to the consultation paper, "Work and the Family"; when she expects to publish results of the consultation exercise; and when she expects to announce Government proposals. [16207]

I have received 343 responses from a total of 305 organisations and individuals. I expect to be able to make a statement on the Government's proposed way forward in the spring.
