HC Deb 26 October 1998 vol 318 c41W
Mr. Webb

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if expenditure on registered childcare by a non-employed taxpayer will be eligible for a tax credit under the proposed working families tax credit. [56455]

Dawn Primarolo

The Working Families Tax Credit (WFTC) will be paid to families with at least one member working 16 hours a week or more. The childcare tax credit, which is an integral part of the WFTC, will provide extra help with the costs of eligible childcare where both partners work these hours, or where the child's parent is on their own.
