Debate between Mel Stride and Nick Thomas-Symonds

Thursday 6th June 2019 Commons Chamber

[Mel Stride]

That is probably best a question for Scotland questions, which are on Wednesday 19 June.

[Nick Thomas-Symonds (Torfaen) (Lab)]

I welcome the Leader of the House to his new role. We urgently need a national debate on social care. As a first step, can we at least have a statement indicating when the Green Paper in respect of England will be published and offering proper resources for immediate social care needs all around the United Kingdom?

[Mel Stride]

The Government have made a number of announcements about additional funding for adult social care in particular. There will be a Green Paper, as the hon. Gentleman has identified, and it will come forward at the earliest opportunity.
