HC Deb 27 November 1989 vol 162 c150W
84. Mr. Kennedy

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will review the current operation of the system of cold weather payments; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Scott

No. We have looked again at the cold weather payments scheme and we are satisfied that it concentrates the help available on those vulnerable groups most at risk from the cold.
