Proceeding contribution from Greg Mulholland (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 December 2008. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Health and Education.
Health and Education
The hon. Gentleman is right that the evidence shows that the investment has to be made in the early stages of a child's life, so does he agree that the Government should abandon their gimmick of the child trust funds? Billions of pounds are tied up in them, although 18-year-olds get a payment of only a few hundred. Should we not spend that money on early-years education, because that will make a difference to people's life chances?
