Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 December 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Benefits Uprating.

Benefits Uprating

How concerned is the Minister that pensioners are, in effect, facing an inflation rate that could be three times the rate faced by the rest of us? Should not far more work be done by his Department to ensure that pensioners are protected from those cost-of-living increases? In that regard, was not this year, of all years, the time to do something serious about the winter fuel allowance, given the massive utility bill increases for pensioners?
