Richard Foord

Liberal Democrat — Honiton and Sidmouth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 September 2024

Debate

Unpaid Carers

Contribution

My constituent Amanda had a civil penalty applied on the basis that she misrepresented her earnings, which has made her frightened to go back to work or to work more hours. Does my hon. Friend agree that it is damaging to the economy if we have people not going out to work?
