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