Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the Early Years Alliance survey's finding that one in six early years providers and one in four in the most deprived local authorities could close by Christmas 2020 without additional funding.

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 7 December 2020 to Questions 122774 and 122775.
