Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 21 January 2022 to Question 106695, on Debts: Advisory Services, what support is available until MaPS identifies a longer-term solution; and what his timeframe is for identifying a longer-term solution.
The Government recognises the sector’s need for planning certainty and is closely engaging with MaPS as they work through the next steps including by making sure they are considering recent representations made by various stakeholders in the sector on how best to deliver locally based debt advice provision going forward.
The Government is working at pace with MaPS to provide further information to the bidders and the sector shortly.
