Childcare Bill

I hesitate to engage in such a debate again—the one in Committee was particularly heated—but I want to take this opportunity to reassure Labour Members of my own genuinely good intentions in supporting the amendment. All I want is the outcomes of the most disadvantaged children to improve, and stating that explicitly in the Bill would make it absolutely clear to local authorities. I fully understand the concerns, but there is a need to include that explicitly in the Bill, which is why I support the amendment.
