Childcare: Northern Ireland
- Question
-
What discussions he has had with the Northern Ireland Executive on improving childcare provision in Northern Ireland.
- Answer
-
This Labour government’s mission is to break down the barriers to opportunity for every child, at every stage across the UK.
Earlier this month, the Minister for Early Education and I met with NI Education Minister Givan in Belfast to discuss childcare and areas of shared learning between the two governments.
The NI Education Minister recently announced £55m for measures which will include an extension of the Childcare Subsidy Scheme to cover school-age children in Northern Ireland, which I welcome.
