Proceeding contribution from Baroness Keeley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Work and Families Bill.
Work and Families Bill
The Secretary of State said that the right to request flexible working would be extended to carers, and I applaud that vital step. As he said, we are talking about 10 per cent. of the population, or about 6 million carers. Friday was carers’ rights day, and I met carers in my constituency who were juggling work and caring, which is difficult. Will the Secretary of State tell the House what definition of caring he intends to use in the regulations, because it is important that that definition remains as simple and flexible as possible?
