Scottish Labour urges Scottish Government to restore £30M Fuel Insecurity Fund for vulnerable pensioner households amidst winter fuel payment restrictions.
Scottish Labour is urging the Scottish Government to reinstate the £30 million Fuel Insecurity Fund, which previously aided vulnerable households during winter. This fund could provide an additional £200 to 200,000 low-income pensioner households. Meanwhile, both UK and Scottish governments have restricted winter fuel payments, affecting nearly 11 million pensioners across the UK. The Scottish Government attributes cuts to a loss of £160 million in funding from Westminster.
