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
But focusing on inequalities means that resources are focused on those who have least. That is what a target to reduce inequality does. I do not understand the problem that Conservative Front Benchers have with this. Returning to relativities and the importance of ensuring that the gap between rich and poor does not increase, I do not want to hark back to the past, but there is a generation of young people in my community who are difficult to help, to train and to employ. They grew up under a Government who believed that relativities did not matter and therefore ignored widening inequalities. I am glad that Conservative Front Benchers are addressing that offending behaviour, but I feel that they still have not quite got it.
