Exclusive: Treasury Ministers Spent Thousands On Media Training While Axing Winter Fuel Payments
Rachel Reeves, UK chancellor of the exchequer, arrives for a Eurogroup meeting in Brussels earlier this month.
Treasury ministers have been criticised for spending thousands of pounds on improving their media performances while axing winter fuel payments for millions of pensioners.
An answer to a written parliamentary question by Tory MP John Cooper shows a total of £9,700 went on “media training for members of the ministerial team”.
That would be enough to pay the winter fuel payments for around 50 pensioners.
