Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what proportion of people claiming free childcare for two-year olds are working.

The Parliamentary question has been transferred to the Department for Education as it relates to the entitlement to early learning for two year olds, for which this Department has responsibility.

The Department for Education collects data on the number of two years olds taking up their entitlement to a funded learning place. However, the data requested is not available because the Department does not collect data on the employment status of parents who claim their entitlement to a funded early learning place.
