That is absolute nonsense. This Government are running the country, and winter fuel payments have been cut by £50 for over-60s and by £100 for over-80s.
Mr Jim Cunningham (Coventry South) (Lab)
Once again, the Minister has given an alibi. If the previous Labour Government planned what he says they did, he could change it. It is very simple.

That was my point—the Government are in charge.
Labour’s Warm Front grant has helped more than 2 million vulnerable households in England since its inception in June 2000, but this Government are phasing it out completely.
