Reprieve granted to debt advisers
HOT OFF THE PRESS - SANITY PREVAILS!!
Hundreds of specialist debt advisers facing redundancy have won a reprieve after the government found £27m to continue the service for a year.
For the past five years, the £27m-a-year Financial Inclusion Fund has been paying for about 500 specialists in England and Wales to give free advice.
Last month, the government said it would axe the fund, and advisers stopped taking new cases.
But Business Secretary Vince Cable said temporary funding could now be found.
