HL Deb 14 September 2001 vol 627 cc48-50WA
Lord Marlesford

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will give, for the most recent available year, expenditure on Childcare Strategy in each county in England and Wales. [HL652]

Baroness Ashton of Upholland

We only have information on expenditure on the National Childcare Strategy relating to England. Expenditure in Wales is a matter for the Welsh Assembly. Annex 1 shows expenditure in 2000–01 for each local authority from grants made by the former Department for Education and Employment. This excludes other childcare expenditure such as the working families tax credit, grants to students, independent local authority expenditure and grants made from the New Opportunities Fund for which local authority figures are not available.
