Priorities for Government

Debate between Andrew Lewer and Boris Johnson

Thursday 25th July 2019 Commons Chamber

[The Prime Minister]

The Home Office is currently reviewing that matter, and we will make an announcement shortly.

[Andrew Lewer (Northampton South) (Con)]

I was delighted that the Prime Minister spoke at the very earliest opportunity about adult care and the changes needed to it. May I commend to him particularly the joint report of the Health and Social Care and Housing, Communities and Local Government Committees, which I took part in, and which talks about insurance-type solutions as well as hypothecated taxes?

[The Prime Minister]

I am grateful to my hon. Friend. I do not want to prejudge what we will do, but we will put forward a detailed plan for how to deal with social care, and I hope it will attract cross-party support.
