Proceeding contribution from Jim Cunningham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 December 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Benefits Uprating.


Benefits Uprating

We all appreciate what the Government have done over the past 10 or 12 years in general terms in increasing benefits across the board. Having said that, coming back to the point made by the hon. Member for Belfast, North (Mr. Dodds), can my hon. Friend reassure me that she will keep the winter fuel allowance under review, bearing it in mind that oil prices and so on are starting to creep up?
