Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 September 2024

Debate

Unpaid Carers

Contribution

I commend the hon. Member for securing this excellent debate. Across the United Kingdom, some 60% of carers are women, with many having to give up employment, reduce their hours or take a less qualified job. Does she agree that needs to be a top priority when the Government are looking at this issue?
