Labour — Leeds West and Pudsey

Speaking in the House of Commons on 29 July 2024

Debate

Public Spending: Inheritance

Contribution

I thank my hon. Friend for that question. We were determined to protect the most vulnerable, which is why we made the decision to ensure that the winter fuel payment would still be paid to the poorest pensioners on pension credit. More than that, we will work with local government and charities to increase the take-up of pension credit, so that everybody who deserves pension credit gets it, and with it the winter fuel payment.
