Kevin Hollinrake has had his say on the Prime Minister's promise on childcare.
Rishi Sunak insists he's delivering on his promise of more, free childcare for working mums and dads with two-year-olds in England.
It's up to 15 hours a week, from Monday.
But many nurseries insist they don't have the money or the staff to cover the extra.
Mr Hollinrake, in his role as Enterprise Minister, reckons things will begin to improve, once money starts flowing to childcare providers.

We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
