CARERS' ALLOWANCE (EDM1409)

CARERS' ALLOWANCE

EDM number 1409 in 2007-08, proposed by Timothy Farron on 23/04/2008.
Categorised under the topic of Sickness, disability and carers' benefits.

That this House notes the dedication of the many thousands of carers in Britain; further notes that this challenging work is done without payment; welcomes Carers Week 2008, which is designed to highlight the work done by carers and will run from 9th to 15th June; expresses concern at the lack of flexibility of the earnings disregard limit of the Carers Allowance, presently set at Â£95, which can lead to some carers being denied support; and urges the Government to review the earnings disregard limit so that carers are given a fair deal.

This motion has been signed by a total of 49 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
