Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 November 2024

Debate

Social Security Advisory Committee: Winter Fuel Payment

Contribution

As my noble friend says—I will get it right this time—we now have the letter from the Secretary of State. I am sorry to have to press her on this, but the Government consistently fail to answer the first question raised by the committee. I asked the same question in a Written Question during the recess and, again, it was not answered. The committee wants to know, “the offsetting cost of different levels of additional Pension Credit take-up”. I too asked that question, and saying that the OBR has signed off the figures is not an answer.
