answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2017 answer text <p>In line with their duties under equalities legislation, Ministers fully consider equalities impacts and implications when setting the Government’s pay policy. It is for Departments to consider the equalities impacts of their proposals on workforce strategy and pay. The remit of the Pay Review Bodies continues to be to provide evidence based advice on pay. We will consider their recommendations when they report from Spring 2018. Our assessment of public sector pay shows that wages in the public sector are roughly equivalent to those in the private sector, and, in addition, public sector workers benefit from more generous pensions.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 24/10/2017 13:57:49 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2017 answer text <p>The Childcare Choices website brings together all the government’s childcare offers into one place for the first time. It is the starting point for parents to find out about what government support they might be entitled to. Since its launch in March 2017, the website has over 1 million unique visitors. Parents can follow a link from Childcare Choices to the childcare service to apply for 30 hours free childcare and/or Tax-Free Childcare. From Childcare Choices they can also use the Childcare Calculator to work out which offer is best for them.</p><p> </p><p><em>Since the childcare service was launched in April, over 216,000 30 hours eligibility codes were generated for children who will be eligible for 30 hours free childcare in the autumn term, and Tax-Free Childcare accounts have been opened for more than 155,000 children. Whilst the majority of parents have applied with no issue, some parents have experienced difficulties. HMRC have apologised to those parents and are working with National Savings &amp; Investments (and their supplier Atos) to make a range of improvements to the childcare service. HMRC have arrangements in place to ensure that no parents miss out financially as a result of these issues.</em></p><p> </p><p>In relation to the numbers of childcare providers signed-up to deliver Tax-Free Childcare I refer the honorable member to my response to Parliamentary Question (105541) on 16 October 2017.</p><p> </p><p>To date, 14% of successful applicants for Tax-Free Childcare are self-employed or have a partner who is self-employed.
