tabling member printed	Lord Porter of Spalding
uin	HL13604
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2019 answer text <p>We will be spending around £6 billion on childcare support in 2019-20 – a record amount. That will include funding for our early education entitlements, on which we plan to spend around £3.5 billion this year alone.</p><p> </p><p>Our average funding rates are based on the department’s ‘Review of Childcare Costs’ (attached) which was described as “thorough and wide ranging” by the National Audit Office. The review looked at both current and future cost pressures.</p><p> </p><p>The government recognises the need to keep the evidence base on costs up to date. We continue to monitor the provider market closely through a range of regular and one-off research projects which provide insight into various aspects of the provider market.</p><p> </p><p>Future spending decisions will be a matter for the Spending Review.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 25/02/2019 11:59:28 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton attachment 1 file name HL13604_151124_Analytical_review.pdf title HL13604_Review_of_childcare_costs
