Responding to the rejection of an Emergency Question requested for 6 August’s recalled Senedd session on the denial of Winter Fuel Payments from Welsh pensioners, Andrew RT Davies MS, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives said:
“The 360,000 Welsh pensioners that will be denied winter fuel payments by Labour deserve clarity and action from the Labour Welsh Government.
“The question must be asked, given Labour’s opposition to this universal pensioner benefit, do they still support other measures, such as free bus passes?
“Those Welsh pensioners affected would much rather know what support they will be receiving this winter now that Labour has denied them their winter fuel payments, as opposed to just watching the coronation of Baroness Eluned Morgan.”
