Speaking in the House of Lords on 11 September 2024

Debate

Social Fund Winter Fuel Payment Regulations 2024

Contribution

The noble Lord, Lord Morrow, quoted some research from the Labour Party from 2017. I did check this, because I saw this in the papers. The big difference is the fact that the full rate of basic state pension has increased by more than £2,600 since 2016-17, and the full rate of the new state pension has increased by more than £3,400 in that time.
