Proceeding contribution from David Winnick (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 July 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Caring for the Elderly.
Caring for the Elderly
Should not my hon. Friend congratulate the hon. and learned Member for Torridge and West Devon (Mr. Cox) on saying frankly what Opposition Front Benchers refuse to say? The Opposition would either abolish the winter fuel allowance, or, if they kept it, it would be means-tested. Let us tell the people, including pensioners throughout the country, what a Tory Government would mean.
