Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when she plans to respond to the letter from the hon. Member for Wokingham on Food Banks and Universal Credit, dated 4 October 2024.

HM Treasury officials reviewed the correspondence and feel that it would be more appropriate for a response to be provided by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

Colleagues from DWP have confirmed acceptance of this case and the hon. Member for Wokingham will receive a response from them in due course.
