He's confirmed today in an email that after listening to all the views of the people who have emailed him, and after a few emails back and forth between us that he is going to redraft his letter.
"As I hope I've made clear in my email of yesterday, and speaking as a 'campaigner' myself, I don't wish to do anything that would have the effect of undermining the status of childminders (or which could be used by dubiously motivated politicians to do that). In this spirit, I'm going to revisit substantially the wording of the draft letter, and will run a different version past you for feedback/comments. In doing this, I'll do my very best not to write anything that could be used to undermine the staus of childminders and their crucial work"
