Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has pledged to scrap the £100,000 childcare "cliff edge," telling the BBC she wants to see "people who work harder" avoid being penalized for doing so.
The pledge targets a feature of the current childcare support system under which parents lose eligibility for support once their earnings cross a set threshold, rather than seeing support reduced gradually.
Badenoch's comments position the proposal as part of the Conservative Party's broader messaging around rewarding work, though the report did not include further detail on the cost or implementation timeline of the plan.
The pledge adds to a series of policy positions the Conservatives have been setting out on childcare and taxation in the period covered by the report.
