Proceeding contribution from Baroness Meacher (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 14 December 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
It would be helpful if the Minister could explain whether there is any provision in the new system for child carers, where the mother might not be in the support group. You have to be very disabled, as I understand it, to be in the support group. Yet a mother might need her child to do an awful lot in the home: shopping and cooking and all the rest of it. Is there any provision for her?
