To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have regarding the pension system for carer grandparents.
We are proposing to introduce new national insurance credits for grandparents and certain other adult family members who provide childcare for children under the age of 12, from the 2011-12 tax year. This is in recognition of the help with childcare that grandparents and family members provide.
