People are struggling. It is difficult at the moment. That is why we put in place the energy price guarantee to make sure the typical household is not paying more than £2,500. It is why we have supplied an extra £1,200 of support to the most vulnerable. I can assure the hon. Gentleman that we will always support the most vulnerable. They will be our priority.

Millions of family carers have been forced to cut back on food and heating. One told Carers UK:
“My son is incontinent… if we don’t wash him in warm water several times a day this will cause him to physically decline. So how do we pay for the gas to heat the water if we are currently at max budget?”
Vulnerable people and carers are struggling enough already in this cost of living crisis, so will the Prime Minister guarantee that support for the vulnerable, including carer’s allowance, will rise by at least today’s inflation rate of 10.1%?

Twice a year, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) produce detailed forecasts for the coming five years, assessing the likely impact of policy decisions and expected developments in the economy. A key component of this is the welfare annually managed expenditure (AME) forecast, which estimates future government expenditure on social security benefits and tax credits.
The current welfare freeze, which was announced in 2015, runs from 2016/17 to 2019/20. As such, the cost of resuming the uprating of frozen benefits from 2020/21 is already accounted for in the welfare forecast – which combines DWP, HMRC and BEIS AME expenditure. The OBR does not routinely disaggregate the cost of uprating within the forecast.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether it remains his Department’s policy that the four year freeze on the uprating of social security payments will end in April 2020.

As the Chancellor has recently made clear, we have no intention of repeating the current freeze. From April next year, we expect to resume increasing frozen benefits in line with CPI.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of introducing a triple lock protection for child benefit to adjust for rising living costs.

The Child Benefit rate is frozen for four tax years from 2016-17 to 2019-20 under the Welfare Reform and Work Act 2016. Between 1980 and 2014 spending on working-age welfare trebled in real terms.
The government continues to protect the most vulnerable in society. The government will be spending £10bn more on welfare for people of working age and children by the end of this parliament than it does now.
