Childcare Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Tristram Hunt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 November 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Childcare Bill [Lords].

It is a pleasure to follow the hon. Member for Norwich North (Chloe Smith).

As usual, the debate on childcare has been split between a conversation about maternal employment rates and productivity and questions about school readiness and childhood development, which the SNP spokesperson raised so effectively. I would give more credence to her view if the rates of social mobility in Scotland under the SNP Administration were working faster, yet if we look at the number of children from disadvantaged backgrounds going into higher education in Scotland relative to England, we see that the SNP has not delivered what it promised.
