Parnutt Food’s systems manager Alison Sandhu could not go because of the clash, but said, “However, if it is put back much further it starts to impact on the people taking November’s national exams.”

Peter Prowse of Bradford Management Centre pointed out that the CIPD provided a free crèche at Harrogate, which his son used.
