Thank you for that answer, Minister. The housing support grant is one of the best lines of defence we have against the continued chaos caused by Tory austerity. The result of years of indifference from our UK Government about the impact of their welfare policies can be seen on our streets: shameful levels of rough-sleeping across the UK, not just in our cities, but in all of our communities.

Minister, councils in Wales use the housing support grant to protect the most vulnerable. If the March budget provides any additional funding to Wales, will you consider making more money available to the housing support grant?
