<p>The Department’s profile of spending on childcare in Universal Credit is shown
in the table below. As the volume of claimants with children on legacy benefits decreases
as they move to Universal Credit, spending on childcare will increase accordingly.</p><p>
</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Ann. cost 18/19</p></td><td><p>Ann.
cost 19/20</p></td><td><p>Ann. cost 20/21</p></td><td><p>Ann. cost 21/22</p></td><td><p>Ann.
cost 22/23</p></td><td><p>Ann. cost 23/24</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total cost UC Childcare</p></td><td><p>£100m</p></td><td><p>£400m</p></td><td><p>£700m</p></td><td><p>£900m</p></td><td><p>£1,100m</p></td><td><p>£1,400m</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
