Proceeding contribution from Angela Eagle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 July 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Caring for the Elderly.
Caring for the Elderly
A carers strategy is being developed. It is important that we begin to move further along the road of valuing and rewarding the work that millions of carers do, which keeps our society going but is often unrewarded. The changes that we are making to crediting into the basic state pension in 2010 are a reward for that, as are the changes announced in the Budget about crediting grandparenting. There is much more for us to do, but I am happy to agree with the sentiments that the hon. Gentleman expressed.
