Childcare Bill [Lords]

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

The point is—[Interruption.] I am just pointing out that the Blue Book refers to

“a minimum weekly income level per parent equivalent to 16 hours (worked at the national living wage)”.

A parent could be working 16 hours at the national minimum wage, but still not get free childcare. That is as I understand it, but we are not in Government. We are involved in scrutiny.
