Question:
To ask the Minister of Education to detail when he will publish his response to the consultation on the Early Learning and Childcare Strategy.

Answer:

My officials are currently undertaking a comprehensive analysis of the 469 consultation responses received which will be used to inform the final version of the strategy.

While it is difficult to estimate when this exercise will be complete, I can confirm publication of the outcomes of the analysis will be made publicly available in due course.
