Business question from Baroness Keeley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 December 2005. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Tomorrow is carers’ rights day. Does my hon. Friend agree that it is now timely to have a debate on carers’ rights, particularly on issues such as the overlapping benefit rule, which means that carer’s premium and carer’s allowance cease for carers over pension age? That matter has been raised by many carers in my constituency, and no doubt will be raised by other carers throughout the country tomorrow.
