Social Fund Winter Fuel Payment Regulations 2024 (SI, 2024, No. 869): motion to annul

Rejected228 ayes · 348 noes

What the vote was about

This division was on a motion to annul a new regulation that changes the eligibility for Winter Fuel Payments. The regulation would restrict the payment to only those on certain benefits, rather than all pensioners. At stake is whether many older people in Cornwall will lose this annual payment, which helps with heating costs in poorly insulated rural homes.

Why this division is tracked here

Winter fuel payments affect many older Cornish households, and the regulation potentially changes eligibility, which matters for rural pensioners.
