Childcare Bill

I thank the hon. Gentleman for his intervention. I was trying to give him one last chance to say something new, but he failed to do so. I am entirely in accordance with my fellow Wessex MP, my right hon. Friend the Member for West Dorset. We are entirely at one in our need and our desire to reduce the gap, but we are saying that it is about raising aspirations, not some vague notion of reducing inequalities. These issues are not mutually exclusive. We can reduce the gap between those who are less well off and more in need, and those who are not. We can do that most effectively by raising aspirations and raising standards, and that is what we would like the Bill to focus on. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
