Low Income and Debt Inquiry

Elena Whitham

Who are you directing that question to?

Elena Whitham

Thank you very much for that, Rebecca, and I think that Hannah Brisbane’s comments really help us with regard to the evidence that we need to take.

I will bring Emma Roddick back in, to be followed by Paul McLennan.

I think that Zahra Hussain wants to respond as a front-line worker.

We have seen some best practice involving home link workers and financial inclusion in schools, which has helped drive down the stigma that we know exists. As you have said, children live in the space where their parents live, too, and experience the same things.

I am sorry to interrupt, but I need to bring in Wendy McAuslan. You are underlining points that we have heard previously, especially about leaving the minimum income in people’s bank accounts. We will take evidence on the council tax next week and your evidence will help us to formulate our questions.

Thank you, Sarah-Jayne. It was helpful to hear that, and it will help us with our questions for the next panel.

Do you have another question, Paul?

I know that Emma Jackson wanted to come in on this question, but I ask her to follow up in writing, because I still have two members who want to ask questions and we are over time.

I will bring in Jeremy Balfour now.
