CARERS' RIGHTS DAY
That this House welcomes Carers' Rights Day on 7th December, recognises the contribution of millions of carers to the support of vulnerable, disabled and frail people throughout the United Kingdom; acknowledges the support provided by the Government through the carer's allowance and the recent increases in the allowance to ??46.80 and the earnings limit to ??95; and calls on the Government to mark Carers' Rights Day by making further improvements in the allowance system by applying a taper to reductions in the allowance when the earnings limit is reached and by including pensioners and those on incapacity benefit in the carer's allowance system.
