PM defends decision to cut Winter Fuel Allowance

Conservative leader Rishi Sunak criticises the government for removing Winter Fuel Allowance from some pensioners and asks whether the prime minister will publish ā€œthe impact assessmentā€.

In reply, Sir Keir Starmer claims increases in pensions "will outstrip any loss of payment" as a result of the triple lock, before calling for Mr Sunak to ā€œapologise for the 22-billion-pound black holeā€.
