                           <description><![CDATA[Minister unable to dispel confusion on support for the West Midlands - Earlier today I led a House of Commons debate on &lsquo;Government policy on the West Midlands&rsquo;.

Click here to read a copy of my response to the City Council Community nurseries in Birmingham under threat - Community nurseries look like being early targets for cuts by Birmingham City Council. A consultation document put out this month by the Council says they want to slash &pound;1.4m from the nurseries budget this year with a cut of &pound;2.5m more next year.

A consultation document put out this month by the Council says they want to slash &pound;1.4m from the nurseries budget this year with a cut of &pound;2.5m more next year. Let&rsquo;s be clear, there is nothing wrong with the City reviewing whether it has the right mix of Early Years provision for children.
