Paul Waugh

Labour (Co-op) — Rochdale

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 June 2025

Debate

Winter Fuel Payment

Contribution

The median average income of a pensioner in Rochdale is £15,000, which is way below the amount we expect people to live on with the national living wage, so I thank the Minister for today’s announcement. Does he agree that it proves that the Government have listened not only to Opposition MPs, but to MPs in the Labour party who have pushed for this for so long and, more importantly, to the pensioners we represent?
