Childcare Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Richard (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 16 June 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Childcare Bill [HL].

My Lords, before the noble Lord sits down, perhaps he can help me with a point that is slightly worrying me. According to Clause 1(2):

“‘Qualifying child of working parents’ means a young child who … is in England”.

According to Clause 4:

“This Act extends to England and Wales only”.

Does it extend to Wales? Is it the Government’s intention that the Act shall apply in Wales? I had thought it was a devolved matter.
