[The Minister of State, Department for Work and Pensions (Steve Webb)]

The consultation on the proposals set out in the Green Paper “Social Fund Reform: debt, credit and low income households” (Cm 7750) closed on 7 June 2010. I would like to thank those who took the time to respond. Sixty-eight responses were received in total; 64 from organisations and four from individuals. The Government will now consider the responses as they develop proposals for wider welfare reform.
