Amendment 98, tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Barran, seeks to extend the nursery milk scheme to include children provided with daycare by childminders registered with child minder agencies. I am very aware that significant female politicians in the noble Baroness’s party have been responsible for exactly the opposite of providing additional milk to our children, and I have previously slightly chided the noble Baroness on this. The noble Baroness is the anti-Thatcher of the Conservative Party, and she deserves credit for turning around the record of her party and focusing on getting more milk for children rather than snatching it.
