Women in the Workplace

Baroness Howarth of Breckland Excerpts

Thursday 9th July 2015 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Williams of Trafford]

My Lords, the introduction of those rents recognises that people on higher salaries should be able to play their part in contributing to rents.

[Baroness Howarth of Breckland (CB)]

My Lords, the noble Baroness mentioned free childcare. As I understand it, free childcare will not come into operation until 2017 for those who are working the extra hours. How will that help families immediately, who will find that they are extremely short in a working week?

[Baroness Williams of Trafford]

My Lords, free childcare is already in operation. Its extension will be in operation in due course.
