Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he has taken to ensure that parents are aware of his proposals on the introduction of tax-free childcare.

The Government will publicise the scheme in good time ahead of its introduction through a range of digital and non-digital channels.

HM Revenue and Customs will also work with the childcare industry and representative groups who interact regularly with parents to raise awareness of the scheme.
