  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  @ MP voted aye to increase the amount of free child care offered to parents of 3 and 4 year olds from 15 to 25 hours
  @ MP voted no 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 [https://www.gov.uk/free-early-education Free Early Education] rather than "free childcare".
