Welfare Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Sherlock (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 10 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.
My Lords, I am so sorry, but I must be expressing myself badly. I am assuming that childcare is available during the holidays, but if for reasons due to my own strange peccadilloes I want to spend the holidays with my child and the only job available is one that would require me to work all year round—during school hours in term time is fair enough, but also during school hours in the holidays—in those circumstances would I as a lone parent have to take that job, even if it meant that my child would have to spend the whole of the school holidays in childcare? Would the noble Lord clarify that point?
