Opposition Day — Free Child Care for Parents of 3-4 Year Olds — 19 Nov 2013 at 16:20

Stewart Jackson MP, Peterborough voted against increasing the amount of free child care offered to parents of 3 and 4 year olds from 15 to 25 hours

The majority of MPs voted against a proposal to increase the amount of free child care offered to parents of 3 and 4 year olds from 15 to 25 hours [presumably per week].

The rejected motion, moved by Tristram Hunt MP (Stoke-on-Trent Central, Labour) read:

  • That this House
  • recognises that families are facing rising childcare costs;
  • notes the reduction in the availability of early years childcare; and
  • calls on the Government to help work pay by extending from 15 to 25 hours the provision of free childcare for working parents of 3 and 4 year olds funded by an increase in the Bank Levy.

The Government describes what is offered as Free Early Education rather than "free childcare".
