I'm not a parent yet, but I think paternity leave was quite a good idea... (and I'm pretty far right of centre)

That was about all though that sprang to mind.

You really think that control has been totally relinquished?

As to the OP - Nope, drawing a blank here I am afraid.

I get your point but that's not really a valid comparison.

Mass amounts of funding gone into the early years education sector and I hope wont change with a new government, although being cynical I know this is only to raise future tax payers.

[Hedders]

Early Years Education Sector?

That sounds like something i would expect to have heard on a guided tour of china!

[Kit80]

But they didn't.

The gave the BoE the responsibility of SETTING interest rates, but made the BoE set them relative to CPI, which is published by the Office for National Statistics, which is a Government department, and the CPI figure is concocted by measuring inflation in a way which serves the Government's interests, not a way which truly reflects real inflation.

The whole BoE control of interest rates thing was a smokescreen designed to sustain artificially low interest rates.
