Labour is facing fresh pressure over its social care reform plans after a charity demanded a boycott of the commission.
Silver Voices, which campaigns for the over 60s, urged other political parties not to take part in the work unless the timetable is brought forward.

The Government has come under criticism as the independent commission is due to take until 2028 to deliver proposals for the long-term funding and major reform of social care.
Dennis Reed, the director of Silver Voices, said: "Nobody that matters in social care can see the justification for giving the new commission up to four years to come up with final recommendations.

"It is hard not to reach the conclusion that this is a deliberate delaying tactic by Labour to avoid tackling the social care crisis for the rest of this decade.
"Meanwhile thousands of older people who are desperate for support at home languish and decline in hospital beds.
"But if the other political parties and the charities, upon whom Labour will depend to give the commission credibility, say they will not take part in the process unless the timetable is shortened radically, Labour will have to U-turn."
The independent commission, led by Baroness Louise Casey, will begin in April with opposition parties invited to contribute. The first phase, to be completed in mid-2026, will look at the issues facing social care and recommend medium-term reforms.
The second phase is expected by 2028 and will make recommendations for the longer term.

Labour pledged a "programme of reform to create a National Care Service" in its manifesto.
But Sir Keir Starmer's party faced criticism last summer for scrapping plans for an ￡86,000 cap on the amount anyone in England would need to spend on their personal care over their lifetime.

Economist Sir Andrew Dilnot led a review into the future of funding social care and published his proposals in 2011.
But despite Dilnot-style reforms having been accepted by previous governments, they have yet to be enacted.
The Department for Health and Social Care has been contacted for comment.
