Childcare Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Emily Thornberry (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 November 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Childcare Bill [Lords].

From my study of the Blue Book, it seems that childcare will not be available to parents unless they have a weekly income level per parent equivalent to 16 hours a week worked at the national living wage. That seems to contradict the idea of people, particularly women, being able to work flexibly.
