MPs call for more help for working mums

Working mums could do with more help from the Government as they juggle their responsibilities at home and in the office, said MPs.

While they welcomed the measures in this year’s Budget to support young parents and families, 10 of the 25 MPs who spoke in Parliament yesterday had a slew of suggestions on ways to give them a boost.

Some want more childcare spaces for infants and a directory to match parents and nannies, while others want greater promotion of flexible work arrangements.
