Labour — Bishop Auckland

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 October 2024

Debate

Carer’s Allowance

Contribution

This sits among the many injustices that the new Government have to deal with, and I think an apology is in order. In conclusion, I welcome this Government’s review. I think there have been some excellent contributions from all parts of the House, with some really serious issues raised such as students losing their eligibility to claim, my constituents’ point about universal credit and the points about respite care and young carers, and I do not think anyone has even mentioned kinship carers. I hope that this review will take account of all these things so that we can deliver a fairer deal for Britain’s army of unpaid carers.
