Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 January 2008. It occurred during Business statement and Oral statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
May we have a debate in Government time entitled ““Ludicrous application of EU regulations””? It would allow us to highlight the fact that over the past five years some £22 million has been given to former United Kingdom residents living in other European countries in the form of the winter fuel allowance, over £11 million of which has gone to former UK residents living in Spain. As pensioners struggle to pay their winter fuel bills in this country, is it not an outrage that so much public money is being spent on winter fuel allowances for people living in far warmer climes?
