The Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has confirmed more cost of living payments will be delivered to the "most vulnerable".
During his Autumn Statement, the new Chancellor said the Government will introduce additional cost-of-living payments for the "most vulnerable" with £900 for those on benefits, £300 for pensioners and £150 for those on a disability benefit.
Ahead of the statement, Mr Hunt admitted "we will be asking everyone to make sacrifices" but promised the Conservative Government would deliver "honesty" and "sound money". Insisting the British public want the Tories to be trustworthy rather than "popular", he said the hope for the week ahead is to deliver "certainty" to families and businesses that the government has a plan to stabilise the economy.
