Cost of Living
- Question
-
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will take steps to provide financial support to people living in coalfields in the context of rises in the cost of living.
- Answer
-
The Government understands that people are worried about the cost-of-living challenges ahead. That’s why decisive action has been taken to support all households across the UK, whilst remaining fiscally responsible.
We have already announced further support for next year worth £26 billion in 2023-24, meaning over 8 million of the most vulnerable households will continue to be supported through next winter via additional Cost of Living Payments and an extension to the household support fund.
The Chancellor is fully committed to ensuring the benefits of economic development are felt right across the country, including with billions in support for local growth, skills training and transport.
