Dame Harriett Baldwin asks the Government how welfare reforms will affect the terminally ill.

Dame Harriett Baldwin (West Worcestershire) (Con)

One of the first acts of this Government was to take away the winter fuel allowance from millions of pensioners on incomes as low as £13,000 a year, including 44,000 who are—or were—terminally ill. Will the Secretary of State reassure all our constituents that in making these changes, she will not be going after those who have a terminal illness?
