During First Minister’s Questions, the Leader of the Opposition, Andrew RT Davies MS, asked the First Minister three times if he would introduce the expansion of free childcare to 1- and 2-year-olds. The First Minister refused to introduce a scheme.
Commenting on his exchange with the First Minister, Welsh Conservative Leader Andrew RT Davies MS, said:
“Today I questioned the First Minister on behalf of all parents in Wales asking why the Labour Government has yet to commit to giving Welsh parents the same level of free childcare as parents in other parts of the UK.
“The First Minister repeatedly refused to answer my direct question, not just once, but three times.
“The Chancellor’s childcare commitment took a major step in getting people back into the workforce, Wales can’t be left behind.
