RADIO NEW ZEALAND: The National Party says it will remove the need for early childhood centres to get a second licence if they cater for more than 50 children.
The regulation requiring a second licence has been in place since 1960.
National's associate education spokeswoman Paula Bennett says the regulation is a nonsense and leads to a doubling up of reporting and paperwork.
She says there are already mechanisms in place to make sure classrooms are not overcrowded.
Education Minister Chris Carter says early childhood organisations do not support the change.
