AUTISM AND THE CARER'S ALLOWANCE (EDM1551)

AUTISM AND THE CARER'S ALLOWANCE

EDM number 1551 in 2008-09, proposed by Lee Scott on 01/06/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Sickness, disability and carers' benefits.

That this House pays tribute to and acknowledges the valuable contribution made by thousands of parents and carers in supporting the needs of children and adults with autism and Asperger's Syndrome; supports the call of the UK Autism Foundation urging the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions to consider a substantial increase to the carer's allowance; shares the concern of the UK Autism Foundation that the present economic crisis is plunging some parents, carers and families with autism into poverty; and backs the call of autism campaigners for the Government to increase tax credits, the disability living allowance and the carer's allowance in order for parents, carers and children and adults with autism and Asperger's Syndrome to survive the credit crunch and the deepening recession.

This motion has been signed by a total of 59 MPs.
