Proceeding contribution from Annette Brooke (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Childcare Bill.


Childcare Bill

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that the thrust of the Bill is to make the local authority the commissioner? I am not sure that I entirely see the state reaching out. Areas such as mine are totally dependent on a partnership, because there just would not be enough child care without harnessing the best of the private and voluntary sector. I suspect that the situation is patchy across the country. One cannot make a single statement about it.
