Ceist:176 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Social Welfare the plans, if any, he has to raise the weekly fuel allowance to £7.00 in view of the high price of fuel; the plans, if any, he has to extend the fuel allowance in view of the fact that elderly people in particular still need to light their fires during the summer months; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
