Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions he has had with childcare providers on the delivery of tax-free childcare.

HMRC and HMT have actively engaged with childcare providers and industry representatives since the scheme was first announced and continue to do so as it moves towards implementation.

HMRC has also established an implementation advisory forum to support the delivery of Tax-Free Childcare, on which the childcare sector is well represented.
