uin	128887
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2018 answer text <p>The government is committed to supporting families. This April, the National Living Wage will increase by 4.4% to £7.83, this is equivalent to a pay rise of £2,000 for a full-time worker on the NLW since its introduction. The government is also helping families retain more of what they earn by raising the personal allowance. Successive increases mean that a basic rate tax payer will be £1,075 better off in 2018-19 than in 2010-11. Additionally, to help working parents with the costs of childcare the government is introducing Tax Free Childcare, providing support of up to £2000 per year for each child. The government is also doubling the free childcare available for 3 and 4 year olds to 30 hours a week for 38 weeks a year (or 570 hours per year), saving families in total around £5,000 a year per child. This is on top of the introduction, in 2013, of an entitlement to 15 hours a week of free childcare for the most disadvantaged 2 year olds (for 38 weeks of the year).</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 26/02/2018 13:36:19 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
