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

Childcare Bill

I have listened to this argument throughout the afternoon, and I think that hon. Members are making a mountain out of a molehill. We are talking about parents educating their children, but this is also about, for example, children pouring water into jugs and seeing how much water goes into them. That is education, but it is also play. It is about children playing with sand, and getting paint all over their fingers. That is play, but it is also education. We must remember that we are talking about the same thing.
