Carer’s Allowance and the State Pension overlapping benefits rules

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 13 November 2026

That this House recognises the contribution made by unpaid carers across the United Kingdom; welcomes the government’s recent announcement in the Budget to reform the Carer’s Allowance earnings rules to replace the current cliff edge with a taper system by 2030; further recognises the positive impact this will have on carers who combine caring with paid employment; notes that carers who receive State Pension remain unable to receive Carer's Allowance where they already receive a State Pension because of the overlapping benefits rules; further notes that many older carers provide care to spouses, siblings, relatives and friends; believes it is unjust that receipt of the State Pension, an earned entitlement built up through a lifetime of contributions, effectively prevents many carers from receiving financial support in recognition of their caring responsibilities; expresses concern that this disproportionately affects older carers, including those caring for people with dementia and other long-term conditions; rejects the notion that retirement diminishes the value of caring work; further believes that older carers should not be disadvantaged for having reached pension age; and calls on the Government to review the overlapping benefits rules and introduce fairer financial support for carers receiving state pension.

Rural maternity unit closures

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 12 November 2026

That this House is alarmed at the growing trend of rural maternity ward closures; believes forcing women to travel more than an hour to the nearest hospital is unsafe and leaves mothers at risk of harm; further believes no expectant mother should be forced to worry whether she will be able to reach the closest maternity unit in time during labour; condemns the previous Government for the structural issues they left in maternity services; disagrees with those arguing that closures are inevitable; urges the Government to properly explore alternative options, including funding rotations at larger units to maintain experience, rather than simply closing rural maternity units; praises the courage of mothers opposing these closures in north Devon and elsewhere; and calls for a maternity rescue package to save vital services and make Britain the safest country in the world to have a baby.
