Childcare Bill

I apologise to the hon. Gentleman for the fact that we do not appear to have managed to do what we said we would do, and get those details and the written statement over to Opposition spokesmen. It was certainly our intention to do so, and I undertake to find out why that did not happen. I am the first to admit that the situation is not satisfactory; I can but apologise. It seems, however, that the Opposition do not take exception to the new clause and the amendment—[Interruption.] I have just received some late information. The detail that we hoped to pass to the Opposition was placed on the letter board—I assume, this morning—so we attempted to inform them. I shall try to find out what went wrong and when, and I will talk to the hon. Gentleman about it outside the Chamber. Question put and agreed to. Clause read a Second time, and added to the Bill.
