Winter Fuel Payment: Disability
Asked by: Stephen Gethins (Scottish National Party - Arbroath and Broughty Ferry) Thursday 10th October 2024 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of changing eligibility requirements for the winter fuel payment on people with disabilities. Answered by Emma Reynolds - Parliamentary Secretary (HM Treasury) This Government is committed to pensioners. Everyone in our society, no matter their working history or savings deserves a comfortable and dignified retirement.
Given the substantial pressures faced by the public finances this year and next, the Government has had to make hard choices to bring the public finances back under control.
Winter Fuel Payments will continue to be paid to pensioner households that need it most, that is those receiving Pension Credit or certain other income-related benefits. They will continue to be worth £200 for eligible households, or £300 for eligible households with someone aged over 80.
An equality analysis was produced as part of Ministerial decision making in line with the requirements of the Public Sector Equality Duty. This was published on 13 September and can be found here. By convention, such analyses are not published alongside secondary legislation. However, in view of the close public interest in this issue Ministers decided, exceptionally, to publish in this case.
For those with long-term illnesses, the “extra costs” disability benefits (namely Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and Attendance Allowance (AA) in England and Wales; and equivalent benefits in Scotland) provide a tax free, non-income-related contribution towards the extra costs people with a long-term health condition can face, such as additional heating costs. They are paid monthly throughout the year. AA can be worth up to £5,600 a year and recipients are free to use their benefit according to their own priorities.
Receipt of disability benefits can provide a passport to additional amounts in means-tested benefits (notably Pension Credit and Housing Benefit) for those on low incomes providing they meet the other eligibility criteria. |

Public Finance: Brexit
Asked by: Stephen Gethins (Scottish National Party - Arbroath and Broughty Ferry) Wednesday 9th October 2024 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment her Department has made of the impact of the UK's exit from the EU on public finances. Answered by Tulip Siddiq - Economic Secretary (HM Treasury) The Government has no overall estimate of the impact of the UK’s exit from the EU on public finances.
As part of the Withdrawal Agreement with the EU, the UK agreed the Financial Settlement, which is a methodology for settling pre-existing UK financial obligations to the EU. The European Union Finances Statement 2023 (available in the library of the House and on Gov.uk) sets out HMT Treasury’s estimates of the size of these obligations. As at December 2023, the UK is estimated to have paid £23.8bn (€27.4bn) in net liabilities to date as part of the EU financial settlement. Estimated UK outstanding net liabilities as of December 2023 were £6.4bn (€7.4bn).

Armed Conflict: Sexual Offences
Asked by: Stephen Gethins (Scottish National Party - Arbroath and Broughty Ferry) Monday 14th October 2024 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department plans to implement the Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative Strategy beyond 2025. Answered by Anneliese Dodds - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) Preventing conflict and empowering women and girls is critical to the delivery of the government's missions, and the Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative (PSVI) remains a priority for the UK. We are working to prevent and respond to conflict-related sexual violence, including as vice chair of the International Alliance on PSVI and by supporting thousands of survivors around the world. Decisions on exact future strategies will be taken by ministers in due course. |

Sudan: Humanitarian Aid
Asked by: Stephen Gethins (Scottish National Party - Arbroath and Broughty Ferry) Monday 14th October 2024 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, when he plans to disburse the £89 million pledged to Sudan in March 2024. Answered by Anneliese Dodds - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) As of the end of September 2024, £70 million had been disbursed. The rest of the UK's funding to Sudan this year - which now stands at £97 million following further UK support since March - will be distributed by the end of the financial year. |

Sudan: Humanitarian Aid
Asked by: Stephen Gethins (Scottish National Party - Arbroath and Broughty Ferry) Wednesday 16th October 2024 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps he plans to take with his US counterpart to promote expanded humanitarian access to Sudan; and what steps he has taken to remove barriers to humanitarian assistance in that country. Answered by Anneliese Dodds - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) The conflict in Sudan has created the worst humanitarian crisis in the world, with famine now declared in Zamzam IDP camp in Darfur. 25.6 million people are facing crisis, emergency and famine levels of food insecurity across Sudan. The UK continues to put pressure on the Sudanese authorities to keep the Adre border open and allow for humanitarian assistance to reach those most in need. The UK works closely with key international partners, including the US, to bring an end to the conflict, protect civilians and press for improved humanitarian access. The UK welcomes the formation and work of the newly formed ALPS (Aligned for Advancing Lifesaving and Peace in Sudan) group. The UK will continue to work with the US to put pressure on the warring parties to open up humanitarian access to ensure life-saving assistance can reach people in need. In August, I visited the region where I saw the impact of the conflict in Sudan on South Sudan - a country already facing its own humanitarian emergency. Here, I met with those who had fled both violence and hunger, re-iterating the true cost of this conflict and also met with bilateral partners including the US Ambassador to South Sudan. Lord Collins also co-hosted a side event at UNGA focused on tackling conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) in Sudan. This event spotlighted the situation for women and girls on the ground, explored the gaps in the ongoing response to CRSV, including the role of the international community in supporting and facilitating local and women-led efforts, and highlighted the urgent need for accountability. |
