One third back restoring fuel payments - poll

ONE third of Britons think winter fuel payments should be restored to all pensioners, a survey has suggested after Sir Keir Starmer’s partial U-turn on restricting the benefit.

The Prime Minister said this week that he wanted to look at widening eligibility for the payments worth up to £300 after Labour limited who could receive the payment last year.

But officials have not said how many more pensioners would be eligible or if the policy would be altered in time for next winter.
