Senior Tories are putting pressure on Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt to cut the cost of childcare in next month’s Budget 🔴 Exclusive janemerrick23 and RichardVaughan1
The Conservative chairman of the education select committee Robin Walker said he will push the Treasury to do more to help working parents with the burden of childcare, while ex-Cabinet minister Andrea Leadsom called for reforms to give greater flexibility to families.
, linked to Liz Truss, are looking into what measures could be taken to increase the supply of childcare in a bid to get more parents back into work. He said that “childcare will be this number one issue” his committee is looking into, adding: “It strikes me that there’s a lot to be done to make sure we better support parents and children with the childcare that they need, and it’s something the cost of living crisis has enormously increased creating inflationary pressures on nurseries.
Mrs Leadsom said she also backed the idea of making it easier for grandparents to take on caring responsibilities and offering parents “flexible budgets” to give them the choice of how to spend government money, currently used for free nursery hours at ages 3 and 4.
