The Government is providing local authorities with information that enables them to target information about the entitlement directly to parents’ of eligible children. The Department is also working to ensure that other professionals, such as health visitors and Jobcentre Plus advisers, are able to support parent awareness of their child’s entitlements. We are also about to start a targeted marketing campaign to help raise awareness further.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 23/07/2014 14:53:05 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what projections they have made of the impact of the childcare element of universal credit on maternal employment rates, and the level of income tax paid by working mothers.
tabling member printed	Lord Sutherland of Houndwood
uin	HL1089
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/07/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p>It is well known that childcare costs can be a significant barrier to maternal employment, which is why the Government is investing in childcare in Universal Credit. Universal Credit will cover childcare costs for families where the lone parent or both parents in a couple work any hours, whereas Tax Credits childcare support is only payable past 16 hours worked per week. At Budget '14 the Government announced an increase in the rate of childcare support in Universal Credit from 70% (as per the current system) to 85% of eligible childcare costs, up to defined limits, from April 2016. These measures combined mean that around 500,000 working families will get more out of the money they earn, including 100,000 families who will get childcare support for the first time under Universal Credit.</p><p> </p><p>We would expect the changes in childcare support under Universal Credit to have a positive impact on work incentives for mothers, affecting maternal employment rates and tax receipts from mothers paying Income Tax and National Insurance.</p> answering member printed Lord Freud question first answered 28/07/2014 14:38:01 answering member 3893 label Biography information for Lord Freud
