Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to supporting tax system reforms to facilitate the development of additional care facilities for older people.

This Government believes we need to have a social care system that gives every person the dignity and security that they deserve. At the Autumn statement, the Government made available a further £2.8 billion in 2023-2024 and £4.7 billion in 2024-2025 to support adult social care and get people out of hospital on time and into appropriate care settings.

The Government is committed to a fair tax system in which those with the most contribute the most. The Government will keep all aspects of the tax system under review, and any decisions on future changes will be taken by the Chancellor in the context of the wider public finances
