Labour are "happy" to be involved in cross-party talks on social care reform
The party tabled an amendment to the Queen's Speech which called for the Government to provide additional funding to "end the crisis in social care"
Labour has insisted it is "very happy" to be involved in social care reform talks, as the Health Secretary pledged to provide for both older and younger people.
Shadow health secretary Jon Ashworth was asked by Tory former minister Mark Harper if the Opposition would engage in cross-party social care talks even before a successor to Jeremy Corbyn is chosen.
Mr Ashworth replied: "We are very happy to engage."
He said shadow health minister Barbara Keeley, who is in the shadow cabinet, is "happy to sit down with ministers at any point".
