HL Deb 23 April 2001 vol 625 c26WA
Lord Greaves

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is their definition of a "hard-working family". [HL1363]

Lord Bassam of Brighton

The Government are committed to supporting families who work hard to balance their work and family commitments looking after children and their dependents. That is why we are improving rewards from employment, helping people into employment and improving support for parents, including child care, and for carers and poorer pensioners.
