Speaking during Prime Minister's Questions, Harriett Baldwin welcomes Government moves to make work more flexible and family-friendly.
Harriett Baldwin (West Worcestershire) (Con): When I worked in the private sector—[ Interruption. ] When I worked in the private sector I benefited from statutory maternity leave. Will the Prime Minister remind the House how this Government are making work more flexible and family-friendly?
The Prime Minister: How typical of the Opposition. If someone talks about the private sector or job creation, all they have is a lack of respect and sneering. It is absolutely typical. My hon. Friend speaks from great experience. We want to be a family-friendly Government, which is why we are putting the extra hours and help into nursery education, increasing child tax credit, by £290 for the least well-off families, and why we will also be introducing proper help for flexible parenting.
