Keep Winter Fuel Allowance in Northern Ireland

290 people in Northern Ireland die every winter due to cold homes. 

Fuel poverty in Northern Ireland is much higher than in England, Wales at Scotland. According to research from the House of Commons Library, around
13% of households in England were classed as fuel poor, 20% in Scotland,
14% in Wales, and 24% in Northern Ireland.

We all deserve to have a warm home, free from illness over the winter. Stormont has mitigated cuts from GB before. It must do so again, and keep the Winter Fuel Allowance in Northern Ireland - and protect the vulnerable this winter.
