Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between David Rutley and Laura Trott

Monday 6th June 2022 Commons Chamber

[Laura Trott (Sevenoaks) (Con)]

T2. Parents across Sevenoaks and Swanley are facing rising childcare costs. I know that there is a huge amount of support available, so can the Secretary of State update the House on what she is doing to simplify the system so that it is clearer to people what they are entitled to and easier for people to claim?

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (David Rutley)]

The Department is promoting the generous universal credit childcare costs offer as part of a wider national advertising campaign, and it is also working across Government to promote the full range of childcare support through the “Childcare Choices” website and by putting new guidance in place for our work coaches.
