Proceeding contribution from Stephen Ladyman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Personal Care at Home Bill.
Personal Care at Home Bill
I want to ensure that the hon. Gentleman is not inadvertently misleading the Committee, as he has said—in his opening comments—that the means assessment for care includes people's savings and their property. That is not the case with this Bill, because it deals with people living in their own home, and the value of their own home is excluded from the means test in deciding eligibility for care. The value of one's home becomes a matter for the means test only when people are going to leave their own home and go into residential accommodation.
