My other question was about parents who have to go abroad to adopt their child and are obliged to spend a number of weeks in that country. There is no recognition of that time. As the Minister of State has given us further information today, I would like to bring to his attention the fact that a number of child care providers have expressed concern to me about the increase in the rates for their business. This is imposing an enormous cost on them, which they will pass on.
