Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Kali Mountford (Labour). It was answered on Thursday, 28 June 2007 on behalf of the Department for Education and Skills.
Children’s Centres
- Question
- Local Liberal Democrat councillors have welcomed children’s centres as a part of tackling child poverty, but Tory councillors have said that they would close children’s centres unless they were a proven success. That has caused concern for local parents. Can my right hon. Friend tell the House on what basis councillors would be able to close children’s centres, and give my constituents some reassurance?
- Answer
-
Just in case any councils in the future thought they might be able to reverse the trend, we have enshrined the integration of services for the early years though children’s centres in legislation in the Childcare Act 2006, which received Royal Assent in July last year.
