Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether there have been any consultations with local authorities, charities, and community organisations regarding the impact of terminating the Household Support Fund; and if so, whether they intend to publish the responses.
Answered by
Viscount Younger of Leckie
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions)
The current Household Support Fund runs from April 2023 until the end of March 2024. The government continues to keep all its existing programmes under review in the usual way.
We engage regularly with local authorities during their ongoing delivery of the current Household Support Fund. Ministers and officials also frequently engage with a range of stakeholders on areas relevant to the work of the Department.
