Mr. Fabian Hamilton: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will make a statement on the position under the social
security system of women who stay at home in order to look after children. [89889]
Angela Eagle: We recognise the need to provide practical support to help parents do their best for their children. That is why we
have put into place a series of measures which open up choices for parents, including the highest ever increase in Child Benefit,
the New Deal for Lone Parents, the National Childcare Strategy and the Working Families Tax Credit (including the child care tax
credit).
In addition, our plans for the Second State Pension will build on safeguards already offered by the Home Responsibilities Protection
scheme to help those whose work records are interrupted by caring responsibilities build up a worthwhile retirement income.
For women who stay at home to look after their children access to contributory benefits is based on their own or, as appropriate,
their husband's national insurance record and the ability to satisfy the benefit entitlement conditions. Income related benefits
will be based on the needs and income of the family unit.
