Childcare Bill

I hope to deal with these amendments very quickly. Government amendment No. 16 refers to the council of the Isles of Scilly, which we have rather stupidly omitted from the definition of an English local authority. We clearly need to include that council in the Bill. Government amendment No. 17 ensures that the National Assembly for Wales can commence at the appropriate time the provisions in schedule 2. These are technical amendments, and I hope that the House will accept them speedily.
