Proceeding contribution from Terry Rooney (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 February 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Carers.


Carers

I am not especially in favour of care vouchers—there are all sorts of issues there—but there is a strange contradiction between the Government's attitude towards care vouchers for adults who need care and care vouchers for children. Tax advantages are available for workplace provision of child care, but not of adult care. Does the Minister not find that a contradiction?
