Winter Fuel Payment
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the Social Fund Winter Fuel Payment Regulations 2024, whether (a) a regulatory impact assessment, (b) an equality impact assessment, (c) an environmental principles assessment and (d) a family test assessment was produced for the policy.
Answered by Emma Reynolds
A regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this legislation because the effect is on individuals and private households rather than businesses or voluntary sector organisations.
A Family Test assessment, an environmental principles assessment and an equality analysis were produced as part of the Governments decision-making process in line with the requirements of the Public Sector Equality Duties.
