Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Gavin Newlands and Nadhim Zahawi

Monday 25th June 2018 Commons Chamber

[Nadhim Zahawi]

This Government are spending £6 billion on childcare. It is not just about bricks and mortar. There are 2,300 children’s centres and they are very much part of the overall picture, but we will do what works. We have committed £8.5 million for councils to peer review each other, to see what is actually working. I hope that, like the Government, the hon. Gentleman is interested in outcomes rather than just bricks and mortar.

[Gavin Newlands (Paisley and Renfrewshire North) (SNP)]
