Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Cookham (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 19 June 2019. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Breathing Space Scheme: Consultation Response.
Breathing Space Scheme: Consultation Response
The noble Lord makes a valid point. Those who are innumerate or illiterate will have difficulties in this area. The Money and Pensions Service will ensure that there are debt advice agencies available that can meet the needs that the noble Lord has just explained, also ensuring that those who may not have English as their first or second language are also able to access the debt advice agencies. Our objective is to make the breathing space available to everyone who has a debt problem, whatever their background.
