answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2015 answer text <p /> <p>Last year the Department undertook an initial feasibility assessment of a voucher scheme to pay Winter Fuel Payments directly to energy providers. It showed that there would be significant additional administrative complexities and costs to the energy providers which were likely to directly increase the fuel bills for all customers and we expected that a significant number of the most vulnerable pensioners would lose out by not redeeming their voucher.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 15/06/2015 15:18:03 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
