Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to paragraph 5.17 of Budget 2018, what proportion of the £55 million of the Disabled Facilities Grant will be allocated to programmes targeted at children.

The Disabled Facilities Grant funds individual aids and adaptations to a person’s home and is available to all disabled children, and disabled adults subject to a means test. Local authority decisions on grant awards will determine how the Grant is allocated between children and adults.
