The Conservatives have forced a major Labour U-turn over plans to scrap Winter Fuel Payments to millions of pensioners.
Labour had previously said they would not hold a vote on the decision to cut Winter Fuel Payments - a controversial policy that has faced considerable backlash from Conservatives and Labour MPs alike.
The proposed plans from Labour would see 10 million people stripped of their fuel allowance this winter.
However, Thursday's announcement appeared to show a dramatic change of heart, with MPs now set to return to the House of Commons to hold a vote on the plans.
It followed increasing pressure on Keir Starmer over the stripping the winter fuel allowance, which would use financial testing to allocate the allowance to pensioners, instead of a blanket allowance being handed out to all.
The move follows ten Labour MPs joining a revolt on stripping of the allowance.
