Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary
Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride accused the Government of 'broken promises' as he opened a debate in Parliament on the government's cut to the Winter Fuel Allowance.
He said the policy was not in the Labour Party's manifesto, telling MPs: "What happened to integrity? What happened to transparency? It went out of the window."
On the cost of the policy, Stride said it was "far from it" that only "millionaires" would be impacted by the cuts. He added that 880,000 people eligible for pension credit who were not currently claiming it "will suffer".
An intervening MP mentions the so-called £22bn "black hole" left by Tories and asks Stride if he will apologise.
The deputy speaker calls for order after a lively response to the remarks.
MPs will later vote on whether to cut the winter fuel payments for around 10 million pensioners – with only those receiving pension credit eligible for the allowance of £200 or £300, depending on their age.
