Grandparents 'should go on family holidays'
Grandparents should be taken on family holidays, the minister responsible for tackling loneliness has said.
Mims Davies said British people could learn from how Mediterranean nations involve grandparents in their lives.
The new sport and civil society minister told the Sunday Telegraph that communities had a "moral duty" to stop the elderly feeling abandoned.
A 2017 report said loneliness was as harmful to health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
What a cracking suggestion. Of course it depends what your parents are like but we used to take me Mam to France with us every year when the kids were young. I suppose we will need to wait another century before we get another good conservative policy.
