In my capacity as number-cruncher for the Citizen's Income Trust, I have spent this weekend trying to get the bottom of all the overlapping schemes which various government bodies administer. To simplify things in my mind I had to create a flowchart.
The joke is that whichever route you take and whichever of the three boxes at the bottom you land in, you end with with benefits/discounts worth about £90/week for every child aged 2 to 4 at a registered nursery or child minder. Only instead of bumping up the Free Early Education to £90/week and calling it a day, they split it up into smaller amounts, all with their own conditions attached.
Why do they make it so complicated? Don't answer that.

That's a public service, send it to your MP.
S, thanks, but hopefully I can cajole the CIT into doing it, it sounds better coming from them.
But, think of all those jobs that would be lost if the system was simplified!
L, did I not say "Don't answer that"?
MW - apologies...
