Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment his Department has made of the financial impact on early years providers of his Department's plans to base early years entitlement funding for the spring term 2021 on the January 2021 census.

I refer the hon. Member for Hampstead and Kilburn to the answer I gave on 5 October 2020, to question 97657.

Further details of our plans for funding in the spring term 2021 will be announced as soon as possible.
