They have since entered government, and the new Deputy First Minister rowed back on this claim on television, saying “we haven’t started to plan out this work” when asked on the government’s childcare offer’s costings. The Senedd must force the government to release the full costings of all their plans in the name of democratic transparency, and to ensure proper and robust scrutiny of their spending commitments.","additional_details":"EVIDENCE\r\n\r\nHerald.
