EMBARGO: 00.01 Friday 11th October

Responding to the People’s Health Trust report that says vulnerable pensioners face ‘impossible choices’ around heating and eating this winter as a result of the government’s cuts to Winter Fuel Payments, Liberal Democrat Work and Pensions spokesperson Steve Darling MP said: 

“It seems everyday we hear more and more about just how difficult it is going to be for vulnerable pensioners this winter as a result of the government’s cuts.

“Pressing ahead with these cuts simply cannot be allowed to happen. 

“The government must reverse their decision and ensure that the millions potentially at risk of choosing between heating and eating this winter get the support they need.”
