<p>The Government does not directly fund the provision of specialist debt advice by
local authorities.</p><p>Instead, the Government funds the Money Advice Service (MAS)

Peter Wyman’s independent review of the funding of debt advice published in January
2018, the Government agreed to increase debt advice funding to MAS to over £56 million
this year, enough to provide help to over 530,000 people.</p>
