to work additional hours.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>To meet the principle of designing
a system that is simple for parents, the Government’s intention is that eligibility

both parents, or the single parent in such households, will need to work the equivalent
of 8 hours per week at the national minimum wage. Further detail on eligibility will
be provided during passage of the Childcare Bill.</p><p> </p>
