Brought up, and read the First time.

I beg to move, That the clause be read a Second time.

The new clause is born out of an anxiety that Liberal Democrats share about the adequacy and effectiveness of the state second pension for carers today. Many carers will never benefit from the introduction of the state second pension. The new clause deals with a specific problem that affects carers who undertake caring responsibilities, and tries to ensure that additional money is put in their pockets to improve their lives now.

Approximately 120,000 people are long-term carers, who have been caring for more than five years; 32,000 carers have been caring for more than 10 years. Many of them will not receive any benefit from the state second pension. The new clause would therefore extend the payment of invalid care allowance for eight weeks after the death of the person who is being cared for.

We are considering bereavement and the way in which we acknowledge the sensitivities around bereavement. The system presents a cliff edge for carers. One day they

29 Mar 2000 : Column 426

have a caring responsibility, the next day the state completely withdraws the benefits that they receive for caring.

Carers are among the unsung heroes of British life.

should be properly recognised and properly supported.

keep under review how financial support for carers--including Invalid Care Allowance--can best meet needs--

the system could do more to offer support for carers.

Motion and clause, by leave, withdrawn.

Brought up, and read the First time.

I beg to move, That the clause be read a Second time.

29 Mar 2000 : Column 431

How would it would affect your business if the Government go ahead with plans to pay benefits into bank accounts?

It would close us down.

Some of Whitehall's finest minds are working on the problem, while the Government is also seeking outside help to come up with the new title.

It being Ten o'clock further consideration of the Bill stood adjourned.

Motion made, and Question put forthwith, pursuant to Standing Order No. 15 (Exempted business),

That, at this day's sitting, the Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Bill may be proceeded with, though opposed, until any hour.-- [Mr. Kevin Hughes.]

Question agreed to.

I cannot see how many of these cash points will end up in villages. And it doesn't help with many of the lower-income people in rural areas who don't have a bank account. Post offices with these will need additional security. It may make life worse for them. The Government has failed to get to grips with problems faced by rural communities.

He is absolutely right.

Have your pension paid straight to your account.

Wherever you are you can draw your pension from any branch of your bank, building society or the post office if you have a Girobank or National Savings bank account. You don't have to make special arrangements if you are away from home for a few weeks visiting family or friends . . . And it's easier to get your pension abroad.

The key point is that someone can go to any branch of his bank, building society or the Post Office if he has a Girobank or National Savings bank account.

You can choose where to have your income support paid. We can arrange to pay your money straight into a bank or building society account. Or we can arrange for you to get your money at the post office, either by direct payment into a Girobank or National Savings bank account or by order book. Please read these notes before you decide which option you want to choose.

Payment straight into an account.

You can choose where you want your Retirement Pension to be paid. We can arrange to pay your money straight into a bank or building society account. Or we can arrange for you to get your money at the post office, either by payment straight into a GIRO account or National Savings Bank account, or in cash by order book or Payment Card.

Motion, and clause, by leave withdrawn.

I beg to move amendment No. 26, in page 61, line 6, leave out--

'Part I of the Criminal Justice Act 1991'

Amendment agreed to.

Amendment made: No. 27, in page 61, line 14, at end insert--

Amendment proposed: No. 15, in page 116, line 9, leave out paragraph (b).-- [Angela Eagle.]

We do not agree with the principle of making rates of benefit which distinguish those age 25 or over and those under 25. We consider that the consequences of the proposals could well be that some people dependent on benefits will face a choice between homelessness and living in accommodation of an unacceptably poor standard.

Under these proposals, many young people will suffer the double disadvantage of a cut in their housing benefit, leaving potentially large rent payments to be made up out of an already reduced income support level . . . Again, we share that view. We share the concern that the response of landlords is likely to be to withdraw from providing accommodation for young people.

We believe that the draconian regulations to restrict housing benefit to single people under 25 further constitutes a form of age discrimination within the means-tested benefits system, and is likely to force young people into unsuitable housing and lead to an increase in youth homelessness.--[ Official Report , 5 June 1996; Vol. 278, c. 619-23.]

Amendment agreed to.

Amendments made: No. 13, in page 67, line 16, after "discretionary" insert "housing".

No. 14, in page 67, line 33, leave out from "64" to end of line 34.-- [Angela Eagle.]

Amendment proposed: No. 78, in page 68, line 5, at end insert--

'(2) Section 175 of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 shall be amended in accordance with Schedule ( Housing Benefit (General) Amendment Regulations 1996 ).'.-- [Mr. Burstow.]

Question put, That the amendment be made:--

The House divided: Ayes 34, Noes 260.
