<p>The information requested in question 133960 is not available.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC
regularly engage with employers and attend employer events and forums to talk directly
to employers about the benefits of Tax-Free Childcare. Resource and information about
Tax-Free Childcare has been included in the HMRC employer bulletin, reaching over
750,000 employers.</p><p> </p><p>Robust estimates are not available for the information
requested in question 133963. The Government announced the closure of the childcare
voucher scheme to new entrants at Budget 2016. Therefore, parents of 12 to 15 year
olds have either decided not to join the voucher scheme or are unable to join the
scheme because they are self-employed or their employer does not offer vouchers.</p><p>
</p><p>I refer the honourable member to the answer I gave on 30 January (124938) which
provided our estimate of those parents who will be eligible for Tax-Free Childcare
and those that receive childcare vouchers.</p><p> </p><p>Tax-Free Childcare is now
fully rolled out, and we will keep it under review to ensure it’s delivering the support
needed for working families.</p>
