Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what representations he has received in support of maintaining the local welfare provision grant to local authorities; and if he will make a statement.
I refer the Rt. Hon. Member to my previous answer to the hon. Member for Torbay, Mr Adrian Sanders, Official Report, 13 March 2014, column 318W. Our position has not changed.
