<p>The Government believes that everyone, regardless of circumstance, should have
access to money and debt advice. The Money Advice Service (MAS) was set up to give
people the support they need to manage their money well; it provides information on
money matters via telephone and face-to-face channels, as well as online. MAS took
on statutory responsibility for coordinating provision of debt advice in 2012 – funding
for debt advice principally goes to support face-to-face debt advice.</p><p> </p><p>
</p><p> </p><p>The Independent Review of MAS, due to be published soon, was tasked
with considering how MAS can most effectively and efficiently meet the need for money
and debt advice.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
