Proceeding contribution from Ann Coffey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Childcare Bill.


Childcare Bill

I am not sure how that could possibly happen. The hon. Gentleman’s comment reflects the Conservative party’s general paranoia about levelling down. Conservative Members seem to think that there will be a huge move up and down the country to lower outcomes for the better-off in order to achieve a reduction in inequalities. I do not know how they think that will happen or the mechanism that they think we will use.
