What assessment has the Welsh Government made of the impact of the UK Government's decision to scrap winter fuel payments on pensioners in Wales?

Answered by First Minister | Answered on 12/08/2024

We know households across Wales continue to struggle to meet their energy costs. Energy prices remain stubbornly high at a time when wider cost of living pressures is also putting significant pressure on household finance.

I am keen to work closely with the new UK Government on our shared ambition of tackling poverty to develop a permanent, effective form of protection for households in need.
