Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent discussions he has had with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the future of the Household Support Fund after March 2024.

The current Household Support Fund runs until the end of March 2024, and the government continues to keep all its existing programmes under review in the usual way.

We have regular conversations with the Treasury about a range of issues relevant to the work of the Department.
