Winter Fuel Allowance

Asked what the Prime Minister had promised in terms of winter fuel payments, the PMS replied that the Prime Minister had said that they would be protected. This was also set out in the Coalition Agreement.

Put that reports suggesting the winter fuel allowance would go down were untrue, the PMS said that the position was as set out in the Coalition document. Put that the previous Government had paid out more than the statutory amount and therefore the payments could be brought down without actually cutting it, the PMS replied that it was true that over the past two or three years there was an additional payment made on top of the standard amount.
