Question:
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail any consideration he has given to extending childcare support grants to part-time students.

Answer:

I recognise the rising cost of childcare and the impact this has on parents and families who are already struggling with the cost of living. I am committed to a review of Higher Education Funding, including childcare support provided to students.
