BILL
to

This bill would require local councils in the UK to publish public statements explaining their local welfare assistance schemes. Local welfare assistance is financial help that councils can offer to people in hardship, but the schemes vary by area. The bill aims to make information about these schemes clearer and more accessible to people who might need help.

Presented by Paul Maynard.
