Childcare Bill

Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bills on Childcare Bill.
I agree with what my hon. Friend says about workplace nurseries. Would it not be sensible to consider tax incentives for the provision of such facilities? If the Government were worried that that might represent a dead weight cost, or that it might be an imprudent use of public funds if relatively well-off companies were to take advantage of such an opportunity, might not a way round that be to incentivise businesses to provide workplace nursery places for low-income employees who might not otherwise be able to benefit from them?
