I am grateful to the Minister for her intervention. When she winds up, perhaps she could explain how that document ties in with what the Government have included in this Bill—the legislative framework within which everybody will operate. As my hon. Friend the Member for Buckingham (John Bercow) said earlier, we are very conscious of the number of occasions on which what the Government say they will do, and what they do in the Bill in question, are very different. Our interest is the future of children. When the Minister winds up, I hope that she will address the issue of children being allowed their childhood in which to develop at their own pace, and not according to a developmental framework set by Ministers in this Government.
