In case I was taken up incorrectly, I did not say that high earners would resent people. I said that people on low and middle incomes with children over five years of age, who would not benefit from the free pre-school year, might have a resentment that they are paying for it but not benefiting. I certainly am not worried about the high earners and whether they would resent it. That is tough luck in my view.
