Debts: Advisory Services
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of Government support for debt advisory services.
Answered by Emma Reynolds
The Government currently provides national and community-based debt advice services, through the Money and Pensions Service, to hundreds of thousands of individuals and families in need across England. The Government also provides funding for debt advice in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. As debt advice is a devolved matter, responsibility for delivering these services rests with those devolved governments.
Funding levels for both the Money and Pensions Service and the devolved governments are regularly reviewed to reflect demand, inflation, and evolving needs.
