To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many parents using the tax free childcare online application system have submitted compensation claims after not receiving a top-up from HMRC; what the average amount of those claims is; what the average response time for such claims has been; and how much compensation has been paid (a) to each such claimant and (b) in total.

HMRC currently processes the vast majority of payments in lieu of government top-up within 5 working days.
