I join previous speakers in welcoming the ringfencing of overseas development aid and the commitment of the Government in this regard. As previous speakers said, this will be debated later in the House and I will comment further at that stage. As for carers, we cannot underestimate their value to society. With our demographics indicating a major increase in the older population in the years ahead, we must now put in place systems which will care for older people. The burden carried by carers relieves the public sector and the Government of their responsibilities and in changing times where elderly people are no longer cared for by their family, we must reward those who take on such responsibilities. We must care for the elderly and ensure that carers and the elderly will be safeguarded in the future.
