A parliamentary question revealed that the government has assessed the impact of winter fuel payment cuts on elderly individuals, but details will be withheld until after MPs vote.
Energy minister Miatta Fahnbulleh confirmed that the analysis exists but has been deliberately kept from the public, raising concerns among MPs about transparency.
Labour MP John McDonnell criticized the government's approach, stating that withholding information on the policy's impact is irresponsible and risks endangering vulnerable populations.
The lack of transparency in releasing the impact assessment fuels suspicion around the government's motives, as noted by left-wing Labour MP Kim Johnson.
