Childcare Bill

No. As I said, I hope that in Committee, the Government will work with us to ensure that it is parents and children themselves who set the pace of development, and not the DFES. I want briefly to mention a final issue relating to this Bill that my hon. Friend the Member for East Worthing and Shoreham (Tim Loughton) will doubtless want to discuss when he winds up, given that he has done so much excellent work on it: children in the care of the state, or looked-after children, as they are known.
