Motion Text

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.
