Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make it her policy to increase the childcare tax free cap in line with inflation.

The £2,000 Tax-Free Childcare top-up, which can be claimed per year and per child up to age 11 (and £4,000 per disabled child, up to age 16), was set at this level because it strikes the right balance between helping parents with their childcare costs, and managing the public finances in a responsible way.
