Commons ChamberI do not accept this either/or characterisation of policy. What we need to do is improve education at every stage of a child’s life, including early- years.
I am not entirely sure what Northamptonshire has done to deserve getting the last questions.
I congratulate the hon. Member for Ashton-under-Lyne (Angela Rayner) on securing this urgent question, but I think she is under a misapprehension. I know that under Labour announcements were made in the press, but this Government make announcements here. At the meeting last night, there were no new announcements of policy, and I would be the first to object if the Government started to do that. Will the Secretary of State confirm that once the policy has been decided upon, she will come to the House and report on it?
I think that was a very good choice, Mr Speaker, and yes I can assure my hon. Friend that I will come to make a statement.
