PE1114, by Gillian Vance, on behalf of the Galloway Childcare Company, raises issues about the provision of adequate funding for child care services across all local authorities. Again, the petitioner is concerned about the impact of recent budget decisions by a local authority. The Government is opening up its early years strategy to consultation—I think that ministers have formally announced that—so perhaps we can raise issues through that. Do members agree to keep the petition open, write to the responsible minister and invite the Scottish Government to make representations to the UK Government on issues surrounding the tax credit system and the assistance that it might offer the petitioner?Members indicated agreement.

I thought that Angela Constance would say yes to that. We will raise issues about the overall support for child care in Scotland.
