Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what discussions she has had with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on financial support for people living in multi-generational households who may be unable to return to work as covid-19 lockdown restrictions are eased.

The Secretary of State has had a number of discussions with the Chancellor about the Government’s response to the Covid-19 outbreak. The Secretary of State is committed to supporting people of all ages through this difficult period, just as she is committed to ensuring opportunities are available to people across all regions of the UK to ensure we level up our economy as we respond to the pandemic.
