Text

Thank you. Twenty-five million pounds is some way short of the £57·2 million that, the Minister told us, we received, which means that £32 million is being spent elsewhere. We see much chest beating about what we are doing for childcare: why are parents being short-changed, and why is that money being diverted elsewhere?
