Clause 48 - Inspections
Childcare Bill
2:30 pm
Nick Gibb (Shadow Minister, Education; Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, Conservative)
On a point of order, Mr. Amess. I have been baffled by the Minister’s comments and I thought that perhaps I had got my double negatives in a twist, but I just noticed that there are two versions of the amendment. There is a version dated 13 December, which says that the intervals are
“not to exceed 3 years”,
which is what I was talking about, and then there is a version dated 15 December, which says that the intervals
“should not be less than 3 years”.
I am baffled about why there are two versions. The earlier one is correct, not the later version.
