Proceeding contribution from Baroness Greengross (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 4 June 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.
Pensions Bill
Will the Minister consider one other thing? Somewhere in the Bill could there not be a line that stresses that grandparents who care for 20 hours or more a week should not be discriminated against in terms of pension rights compared with non-family carers? I do not know whether that is the right way in which to do this—but if there were some line to that effect it would help enormously, because at the moment they are gravely discriminated against.
