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

Of course that is what it says—that is why I do not understand the hon. Gentleman’s problem with the clause on inequality. I have come to the conclusion that addressing inequalities, beyond warm words, is a step too far for the Conservatives. I believe that this duty, with a huge investment in early years, will mean that from an early age, when it matters most, parents will be supported and extra help will be given to those children, who without it will grow into another disaffected generation excluded from any real opportunity to change their lives.
