HC Deb 17 April 2000 vol 348 cc402-3W
Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security when he expects to conclude his review of Invalid Care Allowance. [119480]

Mr. Bayley

We are committed to keeping financial support for carers under review and we are continuing to do this. This issue is being considered in the context of the follow-up work to the National Carers' Strategy, and our response to The Royal Commission on Long Term Care, and the nature and timing of any conclusions will depend on progress on these wider activities.
