PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Cost of Living: Rural Areas (15 March 2022)

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment his Department has made of the impact of rising inflation on people who are unable to access large supermarkets and shops based in towns.

Asked by:
Helen Morgan (Liberal Democrat)

We understand the pressures people are facing with the cost of living, and that a range of factors mean individuals may experience cost rises differently, such as those who are unable to access large supermarkets and shops. We are providing support worth over £20 billion across this financial year and next that will help families with the cost of living. This includes the £9.1 billion package announced in February 2022 to help households with rising energy bills.
