Lib Dems will attempt to reverse Labour’s decision to scrap winter fuel payments, Ed Davey says
Liberal Democrats leader Sir Ed Davey has said his party will attempt to block the government’s proposed move to end the winter fuel allowance to some pensioners, describing the move as the new administration’s “first big mistake”.
Sir Ed said Labour MPs and others across the House will be “genuinely worried” about the move after correspondence with constituents.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves said the government is withdrawing winter fuel payments from millions of pensioner households not in receipt of benefits.
The Liberal Democrat leader believes the move would “hit millions” so a vote in parliament is needed, urging the government to "think again".
