HC Deb 23 May 1986 vol 98 c376W
Mr. Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he expects the review of the cold weather heating allowance to be published; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Newton

We are considering the provision to help with extra fuel costs during exceptionally severe weather further in the light of last winter's experience. It is, however, too early to say when that consideration will be completed.
