105 Mr. Crawford asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if he has re-examined the unanimous proposal put forward by the Joint Committee on Social and Family Affairs that widows and widowers and others on social welfare should get at least half the carers allowance if they are giving care to an elderly or disabled person; his views on whether such a person on a contributory pension would be entitled to retain full time employment outside the home and is therefor making a significant sacrifice that justifies recognition; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
