School-based Nursery Capital Grants

Debate between Nusrat Ghani and Sean Woodcock

Wednesday 2nd April 2025 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Ms Nusrat Ghani)]

Order. Long questions are just going to prevent others from getting in, so I ask Members please to keep them short.

[Sean Woodcock (Banbury) (Lab)]

In response to my hon. Friend the Member for Bootle (Peter Dowd), I actually think there are fewer Conservative Members present than there are pages in the book “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”, which says everything about where they are coming from.

I am really grateful to the Secretary of State for her statement and for the fact that the town of Chipping Norton in my constituency will get one of the first 300 school-based nurseries announced today. Does she find it hard, as I do, to take lectures from the Conservative party when it comes to the provision of childcare?
