GRAHAM Jones has turned his attention to childcare costs, which he said have soared by 33 per cent under David Cameron.

“He is badly letting down working families.

“Since 2010, the failing Tory plan has seen the costs of childcare soar. On top of this, there are over 40,000 fewer childcare places, and wages are down £1,600 a year on average.

“Labour gets that Britain only succeeds when working families succeed. Our plan offers a better future for families struggling against the soaring cost and lack of availability of childcare.”

Labour has promised to extend free childcare from 15 hours a week to 25 hours for working parents with children aged three or four if they win power at May’s general election.

It would be paid for a levy on banks.

Mr Jones said: “Labour has set out a new plan for Britain’s future, a plan that works for ordinary families, rewarding the hard work they do and saving the NHS they rely on.”
