HC Deb 15 April 2002 vol 383 c717W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what creche facilities are provided by his Department; and at what cost. [44862]

Dr. John Reid

Although the Northern Ireland Office does not provide creche facilities for its staff, it does provide assistance with the cost of child care to staff with pre-school aged children. In the last financial year the Department and its agencies have assisted 154 staff at a total cost of £114,000.
