Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the answer of 27 April 2018 to Question 137634, on Children: Day Care, whether support costs will be included as part of the £6bn spend on childcare in 2020.

By 2019-20 we will be spending a record £6 billion on childcare support. The IT and call centre costs referred to in my answer to question 137634 are not included within this figure.
