Written Question
Children: Day Care
Monday 4th November 2019

Asked by: Jeremy Wright (Conservative - Kenilworth and Southam)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many parents who are students are eligible for 15 and not 30 free hours of childcare.

Answered by Nick Gibb

The Department for Education does not hold any data on the number of students eligible for the universal 15 hours free childcare and not eligible for the additional 15 hours free childcare entitlements.

The Government recognises the value of parents continuing in education and therefore funds childcare support for eligible students studying a publicly-funded higher education course. Parents under 20 can apply for Care to Learn which provides financial support for childcare so young parents can complete their post-16 education.

Parents aged 19 or over and in further education can apply for Discretionary Learner Support, for example, if they are studying for an NVQ, BTEC or PGCE.

"I will have to write to my hon. Friend with the figure he asks for, but I entirely agree with his comments about the NSPCC. It is worth noting that a variety of organisations assist tremendously in the work of the criminal justice system in making sure that all witnesses …..."

"I recognise the point that the hon. Gentleman makes. This was a troubling report in some ways. One of the most troubling aspects is the way in which victims of crime in particular are communicated with by the CPS—the language used and the sensitivity shown. My hon. and learned Friend …..."
