Iram Siraj points to a lack of investment, Emanuele De Luca calls Liz Truss’s proposed tax break an insult and Jol Miskin looks to Norway for answers
Your editorial (28 June) highlights the economic absurdity of current policy, but overlooks the economic case for investing in quality early learning.
I was an expert adviser to the select committee on children’s centres when Liz Truss was undersecretary of state for childcare. Sadly, she did nothing to support this innovative service, which produced such excellent outcomes. I have provided evidence to several all-party parliamentary groups on early education and childcare, including the current one; yet the only changes in the last 12 years have been damaging deregulation, privatisation and profiteering.
