Childcare Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Jones of Whitchurch (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 26 October 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Childcare Bill [HL].

My Lords, I thank the Minister making time available during the passage of the Bill and outside of the official process to meet with noble Lords on a number of occasions. It was very much appreciated and helped to clarify a great many issues. I also thank the Bill team for their sterling efforts in producing a Bill at short notice and in difficult circumstances. The Bill is leaving this place in a better shape than when it arrived, suitably amended but with many questions still unanswered, so I look forward to hearing about further positive progress when the Bill is considered in the Commons and in other meetings that the Minister may be organising, so that we can achieve our shared and important goal of increasing free childcare for working parents.

Bill passed and sent to the Commons.
