Proceeding contribution from Bill Esterson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
My hon. Friend is making an extremely good case. One of my constituents has said that if the mobility component of DLA is taken away, it"““will make a prison of my son's care home””." A wider issue that has been raised by many constituents is that people may be in care for many years with considerable mobility needs and that the care home needs the extra resources to get them beyond the front door.
