Child Care Tax Credit

Question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has received from non-governmental organisations on the effect of the reduction in the proportion of childcare costs that parents can claim through working tax credit.
Answer

The Treasury receives regular representations from non-governmental organisations on a wide range of policy issues and spending decisions. This includes the decision taken at last year's spending review to reverse the unaffordable April 2006 increase in the proportion of child care costs payable under the child care element of the working tax credit from 70% to 80%.
