Sir Ed Davey calls for a fairer deal for carers, parents and business in his conference speech.
Most of the event is being held online due to pandemic concerns.
He said Liberal Democrats would give families a £200 voucher per child - paid directly to parents - to spend on activities such as extra tutoring, music or sports clubs. Mr Davey said his party will fight for a "fair deal" and aim to appeal to those who feel "taken for granted" by the Conservatives.Mr Davey said it was "little more than an unfair tax rise for workers and businesses".
He pledged that his party would "empower carers" by giving them their own budget and control over care provision such as when the family carer gets a break.Mr Davey said the tax-free allowance against employers, national insurance contributions should be "raised substantially" and that the biggest businesses would pay more tax under Lib Dem plans.
That would stop "the flow of money from your pension funds into the dirty industries of the past" he added.Post-pandemic the party believes it can capitalise on what many said was the government's mishandling of the impact on education.
