HC Deb 06 November 1995 vol 265 cc597-8W
Mr. Jim Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how much the Carers (Recognition and Services) Act 1995 is to cost local authorities in (a) England and (b) the west midlands; and if local authorities will receive extra funding from central Government to meet the cost of implementation. [41014]

Sir Paul Beresford

We do not expect the implementation of the Carers (Recognition and Services) Act 1995 to add significantly to local authorities' costs.
