Business question from Helen Jones (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 November 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
The Government’s introduction of the right for carers to request flexible working is welcome, but can my right hon. Friend find time for a debate on how that right will operate in practice? Several hon. Members, including my hon. Friend the Member for Tyne Bridge (Mr. Clelland), have joined me in drawing attention to the fact that the system of financial support for working carers is a disincentive to work and serves to ensure that working carers are kept in poverty.
