Older People: Advocacy
The question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of establishing a Commissioner for Older People.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
In its recent report into the rights of older people, the Women and Equalities Select Committee raised this matter and other issues. Together with other departments, we are considering those recommendations.
More widely, I refer to Minister McGovern’s recent answer 29784 on how the Government is supporting older people in tackling age discrimination and ageism in the workplace.
