Labour (Co-op) — Harlow

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 October 2024

Debate

Carer’s Allowance

Contribution

I hope that the right hon. Gentleman will take this as a friendly intervention, as he knows what I am going to say. He talks about family carers and mentioned teenagers who support loved ones, which is important, but does he agree that we should recognise the role of young carers? Having worked with them, I know that they can be as young as five years old and supporting a loved one or family member.
