Clause 5 - Power to amend sections 2 and 4
Childcare Bill

Justine Greening (Putney, Conservative)
I support what my hon. Friend said about this catch-all clause. In many respects, it could undermine the Bill that we are debating. Things could change dramatically.
I ask for clarification. The clause states that the Secretary of State may
“amend the definition of ‘early childhood services’”.
Does it mean only services, or could it be extended to the provision of goods and assets? We need clarification of what “services” means in this context.
