[Mr. Joe Benton in the Chair]
Childcare Bill
4:15 pm
Annette Brooke (Shadow Minister, Education & Skills; Mid Dorset and North Poole, Liberal Democrat)
I am in total agreement and just want to clarify matters. I did not agree with the hon. Member for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton. The Minister has clarified that the local authority has a role to play in the quality agenda and in working with Ofsted. That is what I have tried to say all along: the Bill should recognise that the local authority has a role to play.
