Proceeding contribution from Lord Dodds of Duncairn (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 December 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Benefits Uprating.
Benefits Uprating
Earlier, during business questions, I asked about the level of winter fuel payments and was told to await this benefits uprating statement, but unfortunately there is nothing in it about that issue. I welcome the Government's introduction of winter fuel payments and the increase in the basic state pension that has been announced. However, is there not a need for regular reviews on increases in winter fuel payments? Also, what about the £60 Christmas bonus for pensioners this year?
