Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Hunt (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 June 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Carers.

Carers

The Minister has talked about the number of people who are likely to become carers. Can he explain why his Department is currently refusing to fund the inclusion of a question about caring responsibilities in the 2011 census? Such a question was included in the previous census. Many carers organisations are worried, however, that if his Department is not willing to put up the funds for the same question to be asked in the 2011 census, we will not know how many carers society has.
