HC Deb 19 June 2000 vol 352 c80W
25. Mr. McWalter

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what proposals he has to up-rate the £50 earnings limit for those who claim Invalid Care Allowance.[124972]

Mr. Bayley

We have no plans to do so. However we understand the need to ensure that financial support for carers remains adequate. Our National Strategy committed us to keeping financial support for carers, including Invalid Care Allowance, under review and we will continue to do that.
