Baroness Blake of Leeds (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 July 2025

Debate

Independent Commission on Adult Social Care

Contribution

One of the real differences in the work that the noble Baroness, Lady Casey, is embarking on is that she is committed to working with unpaid carers. The noble Baroness, Lady Tyler, raises a critical point. We know how much this country relies on unpaid carers. I am pleased that we have raised the earnings limit by the highest amount since it was introduced, but the figures are staggering. The significant number of people who are carers has to be taken into account. I am delighted that the noble Baroness, Lady Casey, will work with vested interests, and unpaid carers come very high up that list.
