Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many parents are in receipt of childcare vouchers.
In response to the question about the number of parents in receipt of childcare vouchers, I refer the honourable member to my response to Parliamentary Questions 105844, 106406, 106307 and 106408 on 16 October.
Everyone who earns at least £120 per week on average, but doesn’t exceed the upper income limit of £100,000 per annum can apply for Tax-Free Childcare, which is fairer and better targeted than vouchers.
