Tories Pledge to End Childcare Cliff Edge for High Earners
💡 Why it matters
If implemented, this £700m policy would primarily benefit households earning over £100,000, potentially increasing inequality in childcare access and costing taxpayers significantly.
The Conservative Party has announced a £700m plan to extend free childcare to families earning over £100,000, ending the current 'cliff edge' where entitlement stops at that threshold. The proposal was unveiled ahead of the party's annual conference in Birmingham.
