FOI request (FOIR-126346926)

I understand that there is an allowance available to elected HBC councillors for child care to enable them to attend meetings. I also understand that this allowance is only payable if using Registered Child Minders.

Can you please provide me with details of the number of times during the last 10 years this allowance has been claimed and the times of the meetings for which the child care was claimed.

Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding.

Zero, No councillors have claimed the childcare allowance scheme in the past 10 years to enable them to attend meetings.
