Text

I thank the Minister for that response. I can certainly tell him that there is no overprovision in North Antrim; as I said, demand far outstrips supply. Will the Minister encourage the EA to engage in good faith with the preschool settings in my constituency to try to resolve the issue and see whether further capacity can be provided?
