COLNE Valley MP is backing Carers Week.
The Conservative joined the TV presenter and former carer Fiona Philips to promote the event at Westminster this week.
Mr McCartney said: “I’ve met many of the thousands of people in the Colne Valley constituency who sacrifice not only their time, but also their money and their health to care for a loved one.
“Together they save this country an incredible £119bn every year.”
Carers Week will run from June 18 to 24.
