Liberal Democrat — Glastonbury and Somerton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 March 2025

Debate

Winter Fuel Payment

Contribution

Around 40% of properties in Glastonbury and Somerton are not connected to the gas grid. They are more expensive to heat, and people experience more fuel poverty as a result. Off-grid pensioners, who are particularly suffering, are obviously more reliant on their winter fuel payment. Will the Minister commit to developing a rural winter fuel poverty strategy for those pensioners, who are suffering now?
