Mr. Flight

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on the take-up of the child care credit in the Working Families Tax Credit. [120959]

Dawn Primarolo

The child care tax credit component of the Working Families Tax Credit has been particularly successful, with about 103,000 recipients in awards made to the end of March. At its peak, in August 1999, 47,000 families claimed the child care disregard in Family Credit.
