(asked on 19th October 2023) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the letter from Viscount Younger of Leckie to all members of the House of Lords on 13 October, whether the money allocated in the Household Support Fund is new money or money that has already been spent.
This question was answered on 24th October 2023
The Government is providing £842m to Local Authorities in England to deliver the Household Support Fund in England over 2023/24. The Devolved Administrations have received additional funding via the Barnett formula.
This is additional funding to Local Authorities, not re-allocated from elsewhere.
