Lot 1: The Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) has been conducting an annual survey of the UK population since 2016 to measure a number of issues relating to personal debt.

The scope of this survey is significant with over 22,000 online interviews completed in the 2020 survey using a blend of online panels.
