Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. Has he engaged with the Economy Minister on the need to assess how this tax change might affect the childcare sector and the many parents across Northern Ireland who have seen childcare costs increase or settings close? Will the Minister revise his proposal to impose a real-terms cut on the childcare allocation in his multi-year Budget?
