WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR SOCIAL SECURITY BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 16th JUNE 2020
Question
Will the Minister advise what discussions, if any, have taken place regarding the prospect of cuts to Income Support payments as part of the post-Covid-19 economic recovery plan?
Answer
All Ministers have been asked to review the expenditure under their political responsibility. As Minister for Social Security this includes the budget allocated to Income Support payments.
I have been involved in high level discussions and I can confirm that there are no plans being discussed that would lead to cuts in Income Support payments as part of the post-Covid-19 economic recovery plan.
