In conclusion, through our plan for change, this Government will give children growing up in our country the best start in life. Each day, we are breaking down barriers to opportunity so that background does not determine where you end up in life—so that if you work hard, you can get on. Through its focus on driving high and rising school standards, cutting the cost of sending children to school and—as we have covered today—stopping vulnerable children falling through the cracks, this Bill represents a child-centred Government in action. That kind of Government was sadly lacking for so long, but it is back with Labour.
