Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the number of parents who have benefited from tax-free childcare to date is higher than the projection in the March 2014 forecast.

We estimate that there are 1.5 million families with qualifying childcare costs that are eligible for Tax-free Childcare.

I refer the Honourable Member to the answers I gave on 17 September 2018 (173624).
