Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of raising the earnings threshold for carer's allowance to enable those who work 16 hours a week on the living wage to be eligible.

The Government keeps the Carer’s Allowance earnings limit under regular review and increases it when it is warranted and affordable.
