I agree entirely with the noble Baroness. That will be very much behind our reforms.

My Lords, does the Minister also share my concern about services for under-fives, which I know he has come across, where specialist services are funded by local authorities at their whim? I hope that when he is reviewing the schools programme he will also look at under-five services and ensure that they get an equal proportion of funding.

I assure the noble Baroness that we will look at that.
