Public Services

Proceeding contribution from Jamie Stone (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 October 2019. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Public Services.

Thinking of social care and care of the elderly, I give the Scottish Government credit for their good work on tackling fuel poverty. Altnaharra in my constituency is the coldest place in the UK every year, and I therefore have many good people who simply cannot afford their fuel bills. Does the hon. Lady agree that it would be a good move for the UK Government, or possibly the Scottish Government, to consider some form of social security system whereby additional payments are made to the most needy to help meet those extra big bills?
