5. What progress the Government have made on implementing their policy to provide 30 hours of free childcare for working parents.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Education (Mr Sam Gyimah)
We are making rapid and substantial progress towards our manifesto commitment to provide 30 hours of free childcare for working families. The Chancellor has committed to an increase in funding for free places of more than £1 billion a year by 2020. The Report stage and Third Reading of the Childcare Bill will take place this afternoon, and early implementation is on track for this autumn, with full roll-out in 2017.
