The question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it has discussed with the Department for Work and Pensions the exclusion of employment-related costs associated with registered nanny provision from eligible childcare costs under universal credit and, if so, what the outcome was.
The answer
The Scottish Government engages regularly with the Department of Work and Pensions on a range of issues. This specific matter has not been raised by stakeholders with the Scottish Government therefore we have not as yet had discussions with the DWP on this matter. We will of course continue to listen to the experiences of families and wider stakeholders in considering what issues to raise with the UK Government.
