Carer’s Leave: Government Departments

Lord McFall of Alcluith Excerpts

Tuesday 19th July 2022 Lords Chamber

[Lord True (Con)]

My Lords, as I indicated, we are looking at the Private Member’s Bill in the other place. I agree with all noble Lords who pay tribute to the extraordinary work done by carers—those in employment and those not in employment. I remember my beloved mother in those circumstances and what she did for my father. We in government are human. We understand the immense sacrifices made by carers and will do the best that we conceivably can.

[The Lord Speaker (Lord McFall of Alcluith)]

The noble Lord, Lord Jones of Cheltenham, is contributing remotely.

[Lord Jones of Cheltenham (LD) [V]]

My Lords, I do not think I was meant to come in on this Question but on the third Question.
