TO: Works & Pensions Committee
 
 Dear Madam/Sir
 
 Please convey the following message immediately to the Committee
 
 To Members of the Select Committee for Works & Pensions
 It is urged that a 'prayer' an EDM as follows is laid before parliament
 before the 24 January (40 days after the SI was laid)
 Early Day Motion (prayer)
 Winter Fuel Payment to British Citizens in EU countries.
 The Statutory Instrument 2014 No. 3270 (laid before PARLIMENT on the 15
 December 2014 restricting payment to pensioners residing in countries
 incorrectly called by the DWP 'hot' of the EU should be annulled. After
 the General Election, the matter may then be appropriately reconsidered
 by the new Parliament.
 1. It discriminates against certain groups of British Citizen pensioners
 residing in certain States of the EU, some of whom are already in
 financial difficulties.
 2. This SI almost certainly contravenes the UK treaty agreement with the
 EU on social security co-ordination.
 
 Yours faithfully
 
 If everyone sends this to the Works & pensions committee it will help us all keep our fuel allowances.
