Child Care Vouchers: Yorkshire and the Humber

John Battle
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what information his Department holds on the number of child care providers in (a) Leeds West constituency and (b) West Yorkshire who take part in the child care voucher scheme.

Mr. Timms
I have been asked to reply.

I refer the right hon. Member to the answer I gave my hon. Friend the Member for Middlesbrough, South and East Cleveland (Dr. Kumar) on 2 December 2009, Official Report, column 806W.

Employers and employees are not required to report the provision of tax exempt child care vouchers. Accordingly, the specific information that has been asked for is not available.
