Jardine comments on winter fuel news

9 Jun 2025

Responding to the Chancellor's announcement regarding the winter fuel payment, Liberal Democrat Scottish affairs spokesperson Christine Jardine MP said:

“This entire mess has caused so much needless pain for hundreds of thousands of Scottish pensioners.

“My party played a big role in getting a winter fuel payment reinstated up in Scotland. That’s why we’ll be looking very closely at what today’s announcement could mean for the equivalent Scottish benefit.

“In the meantime, the Chancellor must apologise to all those pensioners who had to freeze last winter.”
