Mr Richard Holden

Conservative — Basildon and Billericay

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 September 2024

Debate

Winter Fuel Payment

Contribution

Thank you, that is kind. In Basildon and Billericay, 15,000 pensioners will lose out because of this callous cut by the Labour Government. The hon. Member pointed out the impact on public services, but how many more hospital admissions will we have, and how many more people will need operations because of his party’s cut? Will we be unable to find out, because his party will not even put forward an impact assessment so that we can know who is affected?
