Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hollis of Heigham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 2 April 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Saving Gateway Accounts Bill.


Saving Gateway Accounts Bill

I join my noble friend in thanking the Minister. This is the next step in a whole package of wonderful things that the Government have done for carers, including bringing them within the national insurance credit system for the state pension when their caring duties occupy more than 20 hours. We congratulate my noble friend Lady Pitkeathley on campaigning so actively, and my noble friend Lord Myners on being in a position to deliver what we all want. Amendment 10 agreed.
