The politician’s answer to reducing the amount of money paid out in Winter Fuel Allowance is to add a layer of bureaucracy to means-test potential recipients, piling further costs on the taxpayer. But a correspondents to one of my weekend newspapers suggested just making it taxable, which won’t require more government bean-counters.
A quick and simple solution, which avoids lots of government messing about. But, sadly, one that’s probably too easy for the politicians to select.
