Amendment 104 in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Palmer of Childs Hill, would introduce a statutory entitlement for unpaid carers to receive a fixed and earnings-related amount of pay while taking carer’s leave. The noble Lord, Lord Palmer, spoke with passion during debates on the Bill about the contributions made by millions of unpaid carers. We recognise the tireless work by him, Sir Ed Davey MP and the Liberal Democrats to keep this important issue on the agenda.
