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

Childcare Bill

I am listening with great interest and respect to the hon. Lady, who clearly knows a great deal about the subject. The important point, surely, is the need for common sense and flexibility. My wife and I have two young sons—one will be two next month and the other will be three weeks old tomorrow. We are not worried about the age at which Oliver and Freddie will speak, because I did not speak until I was two and a half, but I have comprehensively made up for it in the subsequent 40 years.
