It will see around 500,000 working families get more out of the money they earn, helping more families move into employment and thus supporting our goal to end poverty in a sustainable way.</p><p> </p><p>We will shortly be publishing a response to the consultation on the rate of childcare paid under Universal Credit, which will include more detailed information on the effects of increasing the rate to 85% for all families.</p><p> </p><p>The distributional effects of Universal Credit to be published at the next Autumn Statement, will include any changes to the childcare element Universal Credit</p>
