motion: <p class="indent" pid="a712.2/2" pwmotiontext="yes">That an humble Address be presented to His Majesty, praying that the Social Fund Winter Fuel Payment Regulations 2024 (SI, 2024, No. 869), dated <phrase class="date" code="">22 August 2024</phrase>, a copy of which was laid before this House on <phrase class="date" code="">22 August</phrase>, be annulled.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="a713.3/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;We are unconvinced by the reasons given for the urgency attached to laying these Regulations and are particularly concerned that this both precludes appropriate scrutiny and creates issues with the practicalities of bringing in the change at short notice.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="a722.1/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;virtually no notice and no compensatory measures&#8221;.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="a727.0/5" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;Cold homes and fuel poverty are directly linked to excess winter deaths.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="a729.0/4" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;Read my lips: no austerity under Labour.&#8221;</p>
