I don't think the payments should be cut, but I do think the rules for who qualifies for them needs addressing.

Discussing the issue on Radio 2 yesterday, there were calls from people who lived permanently in Spain, and even Australia, who said they got the money for winter fuel.

That is ridiculous.
