I was pleased to be able to make a small contribution in the incredibly important Westminster Hall Debate yesterday, secured by Sir Stephen Timms MP on the Future of the Household Support Fund. Having helped establish the fund in 2021 and the predecessor scheme when a Minister at the Department for Work and Pensions, I urged the Treasury to extend the fund for a further year. The fund has helped millions of families with £2bn of support being distributed to date, I hope the fund will be extended so it can go on to support millions more.
