Mr. Ancram

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what estimate he has made of the cost to public funds of abolishing the nursery voucher scheme in Scotland. [22041]

Mr. Wilson

The cost to public funds of abolishing the pre-school education voucher system in Scotland will be part of the termination fee negotiated by Government with Capita Managed Services Ltd., the operators of the Pre-School Administration Agency. The amount is commercial in confidence.
