Proceeding contribution from Mark Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 June 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Carers.


Carers

One of my hon. Friends talked about young adults and the challenges facing them as carers. Is my hon. Friend aware of primary school children who have been undertaking caring roles? Children as young as eight years old—at arguably the most formative time in their education—are taking on caring roles out of necessity. Does she agree that we must urgently consider models to support those children?
