Councils will continue to provide support to those in their community who face financial difficulties or who find themselves in unavoidable circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>In contrast to a centralised grant system that was poorly targeted, councils can now choose how to best support local welfare needs within their areas. As this is an administrative change only no assessment has been made of the effects. However we are carrying out a review of the current arrangements, working with the Local Government Association and the Department for Communities and Local Government. Once completed it is our intention to place a copy of the findings in the House Library. <br></p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Steve Webb question first answered 11/06/2014 11:23:55 answering member 220 label Biography information for Steve Webb
