Labour MSs Vote Against Saving Winter Fuel Payments

Joel James MS Outside the Senedd

Responding to Labour MSs voting against the Welsh Conservatives’ motion in the Welsh Parliament calling on the UK Labour Government to save winter fuel payments, Andrew RT Davies MS, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, said: 

The decision of Labour MSs to vote against saving winter fuel payments is unforgiveable.

Labour MSs have shown they put their party interests before their constituents.

Also commenting, Welsh Conservative Shadow Minister for Social Partnership and Social Justice, Joel James MS, said:

Thanks to Labour, pensioners will go cold this winter and be forced into fuel poverty.

Only the Welsh Conservatives are fighting to keep our pensioners warm this winter.
