Energy Prices

Debate between Karl Turner and Jim Cunningham

[Karl Turner]

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.

[Karl Turner]

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.
