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 join her in sending my best wishes to Allenby, which is taking part in our first phase. She is right to say that this is the difference that a Labour Government are making. We are supporting working families and putting more money back into their pockets, and we delivered a record pay rise yesterday. Alongside that, we have a crucial focus on making sure that, in the early years, our children get all the support that they deserve to break the link between background and success.
