Childcare vouchers

On the issue of the Government’s childcare vouchers, the PMS was asked whether these would be scrapped, scaled back or kept, to which he replied that this would be announced in the Pre-Budget Report but that the Government is completely committed to supporting hard-working families with childcare costs.

That had been a key driver of Government policy over the last few years and includes tax credits and expansion nursery places. The Prime Minister made clear that we would have no intention of taking vouchers away from parents who currently receive them but we did intend to phase out tax relief. The Prime Minster made it clear in Prime Minister’s Questions that nobody who is receiving tax relief from childcare voucher would lose it.
