Proceeding contribution from Fiona Mactaggart (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Children, Schools and Families.

Children, Schools and Families

I welcome my right hon. Friend to his new role and the existence of the new Department. I especially welcomed in his statement the recognition that the future of a child’s life can be determined in the first 22 months. As well as setting up the three working groups, the first of which will deal with a child’s life up to seven, can he look at our investment across each stage and perhaps continue the rebalancing of investment to the earliest years in order to avoid the growth of inequality, which happens even before a child arrives at school?
