Childcare And The Houses Of Parliament

EDM number 522 in 2001-02, proposed by HELEN CLARK on 05/12/2001.

That this House believes that the Commons Chamber, committee rooms and division lobbies are not the right places for breastfeeding or childcare in any form, since this is neither in the interests of the children themselves nor the proper conduct of the business of Parliament; recognises that better childcare facilities are required in the Houses of Parliament and that these are required for all those who work in there in any capacity; and calls on the Administration Select Committee to investigate the matter as soon as possible.

This motion has been signed by a total of 15 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
