answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2019 answer text <p>The Government is committed to supporting parents looking after children and does so in a number of ways throughout their formative years.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>For instance, every year the Government spends more than £11bn on Child Benefit to support those families raising children. There is also a comprehensive crediting system in place to support those who cannot work due to illness or if they are caring for someone, including parents looking after a child under 12. These help maintain an individual's National Insurance record and so protect their entitlement to the basic State Pension and certain other state benefits.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 14/05/2019 11:28:21 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
