","additional_details":"We think this could reduce reliance on government support, lower childcare costs, and allow parents to contribute their skills to the workforce.\r\n\r\nWe think it could create a more positive society and take away the constant fear and anxiety some parents feel when balancing work and family life, and have a positive impact on these people’s nervous system. We also think this could mean some parents could stay in jobs they enjoy, and not having to work in jobs they are not happy, just to fit around school hours, or paying such a fortune out of income for childcare and then sometimes relying on the government to pay it back.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":33,"created_at":"2026-03-10T16:39:45.872Z","updated_at":"2026-04-28T04:28:40.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-04-14T10:08:14.889Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-03-10T20:21:10.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Shana Campbell","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"BT","name":"Department for Business and Trade","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-business-and-trade"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":33}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Bedford","ons_code":"E14001084","mp":"Mohammad Yasin MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bolton North East","ons_code":"E14001110","mp":"Kirith Entwistle MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven","ons_code":"E14001129","mp":"Chris Ward MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Cheadle","ons_code":"E14001158","mp":"Tom Morrison MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Clapham and Brixton Hill","ons_code":"E14001175","mp":"Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Easington","ons_code":"E14001211","mp":"Grahame Morris MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Hastings and Rye","ons_code":"E14001274","mp":"Helena Dollimore MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Henley and Thame","ons_code":"E14001280","mp":"Freddie van Mierlo MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Huddersfield","ons_code":"E14001297","mp":"Harpreet Uppal MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Kingswinford and South Staffordshire","ons_code":"E14001316","mp":"Mike Wood MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Lewisham East","ons_code":"E14001331","mp":"Janet Daby MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Lewisham North","ons_code":"E14001332","mp":"Vicky Foxcroft MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Lewisham West and East Dulwich","ons_code":"E14001333","mp":"Rt Hon Ellie Reeves KC MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Lincoln","ons_code":"E14001336","mp":"Mr Hamish Falconer MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Mansfield","ons_code":"E14001355","mp":"Steve Yemm MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Newton Abbot","ons_code":"E14001381","mp":"Martin Wrigley MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"North Bedfordshire","ons_code":"E14001384","mp":"Richard Fuller MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"North East Hampshire","ons_code":"E14001392","mp":"Alex Brewer MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"North West Cambridgeshire","ons_code":"E14001401","mp":"Sam Carling MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"North West Hampshire","ons_code":"E14001403","mp":"Rt Hon Kit Malthouse MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Peterborough","ons_code":"E14001425","mp":"Andrew Pakes MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Ribble Valley","ons_code":"E14001443","mp":"Maya Ellis MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Rugby","ons_code":"E14001453","mp":"John Slinger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Runnymede and Weybridge","ons_code":"E14001456","mp":"Dr Ben Spencer MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Stretford and Urmston","ons_code":"E14001528","mp":"Andrew Western MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"The Wrekin","ons_code":"E14001543","mp":"Rt Hon Mark Pritchard MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Uxbridge and South Ruislip","ons_code":"E14001558","mp":"Danny Beales MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Widnes and Halewood","ons_code":"E14001584","mp":"Derek Twigg MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North East","ons_code":"A","signature_count":1},{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":6},{"name":"Yorkshire and The Humber","ons_code":"D","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":2},{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":3},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":4},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":5},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":8},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":2}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
