Labour — Houghton and Sunderland South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 April 2025

Debate

School-based Nursery Capital Grants

Contribution

I agree with my hon. Friend, and I pay tribute to Paula Shaw and the team for all their work to support children and families. We were delighted that so many schools came forward to apply to take part in this first phase. Demand far outstripped supply, so we will be returning to this. However, I am also delighted that Paula and her team felt able to take part and to see the benefits that the extra places will bring to my hon. Friend’s constituents.
