I give way to my hon. Friend the Member for Hexham (Guy Opperman).
Guy Opperman (Hexham) (Con)
I am most grateful to my hon. Friend for giving way to me and not to honorable colleagues on the Opposition Benches.
On the expansion of provision, does my hon. Friend welcome the fact that 73% of the children’s centres in the north-east are rated as either good or outstanding? More importantly, what opportunities will they have to expand that provision in the future?
Elizabeth Truss
I thank my hon. Friend for his point about children’s centres, which have been a massive success under this Government. Record numbers of parents are using them, we have improved them by focusing them on outcomes and they are really achieving.
