The Prime Minister has been clear, the best and most important way that we can keep costs and interest rates down for people is to halve inflation, and then return it to the 2% target.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>Following the commitments agreed to support borrowers in December, the Chancellor met with mortgage lenders, UK Finance and the Financial Conduct Authority on 23 June. At this meeting, lenders agreed to a new Mortgage Charter to support borrowers struggling with their mortgage payments, which was published on 26 June. This sets out the standards lenders will adopt when helping their customers, including new flexibilities to help customers manage their mortgage payments over a short period.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>This is in addition to the measures the Government has already taken aimed at helping people to avoid repossession, including Support for Mortgage Interest (SMI) loans, and protection in the courts through the Pre-Action Protocol.<\/p><p> <\/p>"}

Overall, the Government is providing support worth over £94 billion over 2022-23 and 2023-24 to help households and individuals with the rising cost of living \u2013 an average of over £3,300 per UK household. The Government is also maintaining the Energy Price Guarantee at £2,500 for an additional three months from April, saving households an additional £160, bringing total Government support for energy bills to £1,500 for a typical household since October 2022.<\/p>"}
