Mansfield MP defends Government's pensioner winter fuel payment decision following commons vote [AUDIO]

Steve Yemm gave his thought's to Mansfield 103.2's Tony Delahunty in an exclusive interview this week.

MPs voted on Tuesday to cut the winter fuel allowance for millions of pensioners, except the country's poorest.

A Conservative move to block the government's plans was defeated by a majority of 120.

Shouts of "shame" could be heard in the Commons as the result was read out.

The result means around 10 million people will now miss out on the payment of up to 300 pounds.

Steve Yemm spoke to Mansfield 103.2's Tony Delahunty about the controversial decision.
