Lord Harries of Pentregarth (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 June 2025

Debate

Winter Fuel Payment

Contribution

I welcome the new policy, but does the Minister agree that the public would find it helpful if some thinking was given by the Government about the choice of the figure of £35,000? I have no feelings one way or the other, but I think the general public might find it helpful to find some kind of rationale behind this figure. Why was it not higher or lower? Why that particular figure?
