The early education and childcare minister is being recalled to give evidence in front of the committee to ‘fill in the gaps’ in the Government’s response to recommendations made by the committee in its report, Foundation Years: Sure Start Children’s Centres, published in December.

Graham Stuart MP, the committee’s chair said, ‘The Committee is disappointed by the inadequate response provided by the Government to our report on children’s centres.
