Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Bridget Phillipson and Paul Waugh

Monday 9th December 2024 Commons Chamber

[Bridget Phillipson]

I do recognise the challenge the hon. Lady sets out and the very real challenge the Government have inherited in the provision of places. Our approach of rolling out nursery space within primary schools is crucial to creating the places that are required. There is more that we need to do. The system and sector overall require reform, and we will set out more in this area before long.

[Paul Waugh (Rochdale) (Lab/Co-op)]

Alison is not alone; many others are suffering serious stress and unacceptable delays. Will the Minister meet me to unlock this bureaucratic logjam?
