Proceeding contribution from Ruth Kelly (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Childcare Bill.


Childcare Bill

I want to make some progress and then I will take interventions from my colleagues and others. The Bill will use all the facilities at our disposal. For example, by 2010 all schools will be providing access to a range of extended services, including child care, from eight in the morning until six in the evening. Over the past eight years, such reforms and innovations, alongside the £17 billion that we have invested in early years and child care services, have brought an area previously at the margins of public service into the heart of the welfare state.
