Personal Care at Home Bill

I thank the noble Baroness, Lady Thornton, for setting out so clearly the positive impact that this will have on the life chances of those with critical-plus needs. It has been a very interesting, long and challenging journey. The right of portability and clear directions on how it should be executed seamlessly must not be underestimated. Disabled and older people will be absolutely delighted with what has been achieved in this House today. It will give them more hope for the tricky times ahead. This is indeed the first step towards the fairer national care and support system that we are looking for. I believe that it has been taken very seriously. Therefore, I am delighted and beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 1 withdrawn. Amendment 2 Moved by
