Childcare Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hughes of Stretford (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Childcare Bill.
It will not be necessary to include things on which the local authority must not hold information, because local authorities and providers can only hold and pass on information if the regulations empower them to do so. Indeed, that information is already circumscribed. For example, it is legally not possible for information on medical records to be held and passed on. We are simply talking about identifying information and the number of hours and weeks that the child spends in the setting. Such information can help us to assess whether child outcomes are achieved by local authorities.
