Women in the Workplace

Baroness Walmsley Excerpts

Thursday 9th July 2015 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Williams of Trafford (Con)]

My noble friend will appreciate that I do not remember it, but he demonstrates, as always, a very good point.

[Baroness Walmsley (LD)]

My Lords, following the question from the noble Baroness, Lady Howarth, will the Minister say why the Government have pushed the introduction of tax-free childcare on by another year? Surely the watchword of this Budget was not “a Budget for security” but “jam tomorrow for hard-working families with children”.

[Baroness Williams of Trafford]

My Lords, I think noble Lords will agree that it is certainly going in the right direction.
