HC Deb 19 March 2003 vol 401 c793W
Mr. Hammond

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister pursuant to his answer of 12 March,Official Report, column 330W, whether his Department considers a supermarket checkout operator to be a key worker. [103280]

Mr. McNulty

Support being provided by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister for key worker housing will target key public sector workers, as set out in `Sustainable Communities: building for the future'. This excludes supermarket checkout operators. Wider housing policies to increase the supply of affordable housing will benefit key workers outside the public sector.
