Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the cost to the public purse was of the 30 hour free childcare scheme in Scotland in the 2018-19 financial year.
The 30 hours childcare schemes are a devolved matter and the Department for Education has a remit for the 30 hours entitlement for England. Questions about schemes in Scotland and Wales should be referred to the devolved administrations.
