MPs to debate 30-hour funding

Policy & Politics
A House of Commons debate on the 'effect of the 30 hours' is to take place on Thursday (12 October).

The debate in Westminster Hall has been secured by Labour MP for High Peak Ruth George, who has invited the children and families minister Robert Goodwill to attend.

Ahead of the event, childcare providers are being urged to contact their local MP with any concerns or questions they have about the 30 hours for the chance for them to be raised during the debate.

‘I am very pleased to have secured a 90-minute debate on Thursday on the 30 hours of funded childcare and to have opportunity to detail all the problems experienced by parents, nurseries and childminders - and to have the Minister responsible to have to respond to the debate,' Ms George said.
