PARLIAMENTARY CRECHE

Early day motion 2544, tabled 11 July 2006 by Austin Mitchell (Labour). Signed by 61 members.

That this House recognises that Scottish hon. Members, their staff and staff of the Scottish Parliament all have the benefit of a crèche from 8am to 6pm for their children aged between six weeks and five years; commends this example to the Palace of Westminster; and urges the Administration Committee to reconsider, in conjunction with the Lords, the possibility of providing a crèche on the Parliamentary estate or close nearby, to make Parliament more family-friendly and to provide the service and support which hon. Members and staff with small children deserve.
