Did he really say they'd review them? Doesn't look like it to me.

We do understand the impact and the need for making sure that children get adequate childcare. That is one of the significant concerns that we've had all the way through this.
So I think especially coming from a man of the cloth, that is perfectly reasonable to take away that question. I'll have to talk to my Treasury colleagues before I can answer it in full and we'll look at it and if we can get your details I'll make sure we can write to you with a full answer and make an announcement from this podium.

I believe the "look at it" was looking at the question, not looking at all of the fines, so I don't think he promised anything other than to come back with a proper answer to the question (which will now be "no").
