Mr. Andrew MacKay
To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many people will benefit from the new carers' premium to be introduced into income support.
Mr. Scott
We expect the new £10 premium, being introduced next October, to help 10,000 carers through income support, and a further 20,000 carers through housing benefit or community charge benefit.
