Reform UK Debate - childcare offer
Reform UK's Dan Thomas asked the Welsh Government to publish full costings and a timetable for its childcare offer within its first 100 days. The Senedd rejected that wording. It agreed Plaid Cymru's replacement text, plus a Welsh Labour addition on high quality childcare, and passed the motion as amended.
