Clause 17 - Framework
Children Bill [Lords]
4:45 pm
Mrs Margaret Hodge (Minister of State (Children), Department for Education and Skills; Barking, Labour)
I urge the hon. Lady to write to me about the particular case. Any provision that operates for children for two hours or more must be regulated.
Amendment No. 46 is not needed, and I hope that the hon. Member for Epping Forest will withdraw it. I also hope that she joins me in applauding the wonderful work that most nursery workers do in providing a safe, stimulating and happy environment for the children who are entrusted to their care.
