Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps he plans to take with the Chancellor of the Exchequer to assess the potential merits of extending the Household Support Fund after September 2024.
This question was answered on 13th March 2024
The government is providing an additional £500m to enable the extension of the Household Support Fund, including funding for the Devolved Administrations through the Barnett formula to be spent at their discretion. This means that Local Authorities in England will receive an additional £421m to support those in need locally through the Household Support Fund.
