Edward Argar

Conservative — Melton and Syston

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 March 2025

Debate

Winter Fuel Payment

Contribution

Let me just make a further point. I am about to deal with some of the hon. Gentleman’s own points, as he will find if he pauses for a minute, but he may want to intervene at that moment. George Osborne did not cut the winter fuel allowance because it gave pensioners the confidence to turn the heating up those extra few degrees, knowing that the money was coming. I will now give way to the hon. Gentleman.
