We know that work is the best route out of poverty and the number of children growing up in workless families is at a record low. As a result of the introduction of Universal Credit, we estimate around 3.2 million households across the UK will be better off and up to 300,000 more people will enter work due to improved financial incentives. We are doubling the amount of free childcare to 30 hours of childcare for working parents of 3 and 4 year olds, making it easier for them to go back to work.</p> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 17/06/2015 14:50:39 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel
