Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many families are eligible for tax-free childcare in the Wakefield constituency.

Information on the number of parents eligible for Tax-Free Childcare by constituency is not available at the current time.

Regarding the number of parents who have used childcare vouchers in the Wakefield constituency, I refer the Honourable Member to the answer I gave on 25 January 2017 to the Honourable Member for Hull North (123405).

Parents currently receiving vouchers can continue to do so while they work for the same employer and that employer continues to offer them. HM Revenue & Customs have published guidance and written to employers, who operate the schemes, to make sure that they are aware of the changes.
