Liberal Democrat — Glastonbury and Somerton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 May 2025

Debate

Carer’s Leave

Contribution

My hon. Friend was probably going on to say that most carers have no idea that they have accidentally been overpaid carer’s allowance. Unpaid carers are doing such a remarkable job. I have been contacted by many in Glastonbury and Somerton who deserve our support. They are facing extreme financial hardship. Does she agree that we need to stop pursuing carers for old overpayments of carer’s allowance?
