James Sunderland calls for the household support fund to be extended beyond this financial year as it has been a lifeline to councils across the UK, including Bracknell Forest Council.

James Sunderland (Bracknell) (Con)

The household support fund has given a lifeline to councils across the UK, including Bracknell Forest Council, and it is discretionary. Will the Minister confirm whether that fund will be extended beyond this financial year?

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (Jacob Young)

I cannot make spending commitments today, but I can say that my hon. Friend is a fantastic champion for his constituents and I am happy to ensure that the relevant Minister is able to meet him to discuss the matter further.
