Lord Livermore (Lab)
As I said to the noble Baroness, Lady Kramer, the Government are providing at least £600 million of new grant funding for social care in 2025-26.
Lord Wigley (PC)
My Lords, colleagues in all parts of the House will have received representations on a scheme drawn up to help disabled children get to school, which is being undermined and will probably have to close down as a result of this increase in national insurance payments. Was that sort of scheme considered by the Government, or was it not considered at all before this decision was taken?
Lord Livermore (Lab)
I am not aware of the specific scheme that the noble Lord raises, but I will happily look into it and I shall write to him on it.
