Question
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?
Answer
Answered by First Minister (Eluned Morgan)
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.
