Proceeding contribution from Andrea Leadsom (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 July 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Reform of Social Care.


Reform of Social Care

A constituent of mine who is 61 years old is the full-time carer for both her disabled husband, who lives with her, and her elderly mother, who does not. Since she drew her state pension, she has not been allowed any kind of carer's allowance. Will my right hon. Friend join me in praising all retired people who do such work, which saves the taxpayer a fortune, and will he look into what we can do to provide more support for such people?
