The difficulty is we are speaking about four words that would align the regulations along with the person providing early years services. It is problematic that we are excluding four words "and promote the development". It could be seen to be a deliberate intention of the Bill to exclude that from the person who is providing the early years service in order that they are looking after the health, safety and welfare of children while not having responsibility for promoting the development. I believed that this was a technical amendment because it was seeking to outline that the regulations and the duty of the persons providing such are the same.
