This will deliver support much more quickly, with around 1.9 million working families now qualifying within the first year.</strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>Working lone parents are more likely to have lower income levels than working couples. More lone parents will therefore receive support for childcare through Tax Credits and then subsequently Universal Credit that is generally more generous than Tax-Free Childcare. </strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>It is estimated that of the families that will directly benefit from the Tax-Free Childcare scheme around 95% are couples and 5% are lone parents.</strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>The latest 2011-12 Child and Working Tax Credits finalised annual awards publication show that of the families that benefit from the Childcare Element of Tax Credits, 39% are couples and 61% are lone parents.</strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Loughborough answering member printed Nicky Morgan question first answered 08/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4027 label Biography information for Baroness Morgan of Cotes
