Winter Fuel Allowance

Thanks for the link Gn. I've signed. Most holiday makers have no idea how cold inside warm climate houses can be in the winter. My brother in law had over 3 tons of wood delivered last year. He also has a gas heater and two electric radiators in an effort to keep warm. He is 84 and it was the first year he had received the fuel allowance.

Having previously owned a property in Spain I can confirm that the houses are not built to stay warm and during the winter they can be very cold

Despite not being an expat, I have signed it in the interests of fairness. However, I think the petition could have been better worded to include the incontestable fact that many expats live in places that are just as cold as - or colder than - the UK.

Signed it!

Thanks for this gn. Have signed.

Signed. Would be very interested to know if the calculation for the overall winter temperature of the UK also includes its overseas territories.
