Order questions to the Prime Minister.

Paul Blomfield, it's your lucky day, man.

It is, except we didn't reach...

Number one.

Thank you, Mr Speaker.

This morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. In addition to my duties in this House, I shall have further such meetings later today.

Paul Blomfield.

Sheffield Young Carers is a group supporting inspirational young people who balance all the normal challenges of their young lives

with the demands of caring for a parent

or a sibling, often with acute needs.

People like John, who's been caring for his mother with fibromyalgia from the age of 10, or

Phoebe, who's been supporting her father with mental health problems from the age of

eight.

They have some practical ideas about what the government could do to make their lives

easier. But the Prime Minister agreed to meet them and hear their proposals.

Can I say to the Honourable Gentleman that I think it's absolutely right that he raises

this issue. There are many young people who are caring for their parents,

caring within, sometimes caring for their siblings as well, and all too often going

unseen and unheard.

And certainly one of the things that we're doing as a government is trying to ensure that

we do see more opportunities, more ability to identify, to assess young carers and their families

and to support them, and to make the rights of young carers clearer.
