    "We will judge the success of any new policy proposals the Government brings forward by the extent to which they help vulnerable older people to be able to heat their homes." Read our response to the Prime Minister's #WinterFuelPayment comments: bit.ly/43issnT
    “We welcome the PM's comments about the Winter Fuel Payment and his commitment to change, but of course the devil is always in the detail. 

Age UK stands ready to help and to advise Ministers, drawing on what we hear from older people and from our community-based local Age UKs, and on our own analysis of what would make the most difference.”
