HOUSE OF COMMONS NURSERY (No. 2)

Early day motion 171, tabled 4 June 2013 by Lucy Powell (Labour). Signed by 37 members.

That this House recognises the great value placed by hon. Members and staff, past and present, on the House of Commons nursery; notes that the nursery makes an invaluable difference to working parents especially hon. Members who value the flexibility given their busy and unpredictable schedules; further notes that the nursery is projected to break even by March 2014; further notes the public investment to refurbish and open the nursery; and condemns as a waste of public money any consideration of closing such a valued and necessary service.
