I suspect you may be right Mr G, but Hunt has now expanded on his comments. Bear in mind that these are quotes from the Guardian 'There are 420,000 households in our country that are three-generation households where granny, mum and dad and the kids all live under the same roof. I think that is a good thing.
I am not saying we all want to live with our mother-in-law. But I think that three-generation families are a wonderful thing.
If you look at Spain and Italy, where they spend less on social care than us but they don’t have a social care crisis, is because they are societies that hold families together.
As the party of the family, I think we should look to see if we could introduce incentives for that as well.'
TBH I'm not entirely sure any of that is true. Apart from the bit about the mother-in-law, although mine would have been fine. Father in law though....... And no way would either my sister or myself had our father living in our house.
