	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>Due to the way Tax-Free Childcare is linked to 30 hours free childcare, a large number of Tax-Free Childcare accounts for 3 and 4 years olds are opened but not used to pay a childcare provider. This happens because a child who has a 30 hours account opened, will automatically have a Tax-Free Childcare account opened as well, if their parents are eligible. The reason for this feature of the service is to ensure a smooth customer journey for families signing up for 30 hours free childcare, so that they have a Tax-Free Childcare account ready for use when their child is no longer eligible for 30 hours free childcare.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, when a Tax-Free Childcare account is opened for a child, of any age, accounts will be opened for their siblings if their details are also entered during the application.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 09/09/2019 09:40:48 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
