Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many applications for funding from the Flexible Support Fund have been received for up-front childcare costs in each of the last 12 months; and how many of those applications have been (a) paid in full, (b) paid in part and (c) refused.
The information requested is not held in a format that can be easily disaggregated and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
