Clegg backs plans for childcare help

WORKING families will be offered help with childcare, worth £1.5 billion, before the next election.

Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg said he was "unambiguously in favour" of giving more support to "the middle-classes". The help could be worth around £1000 a year for every family.
