A government minister is urging well-off pensioners who do not need their winter fuel allowance to donate the money to charity.

Charities Minister Nick Hurd told The Daily Telegraph he would congratulate any pensioner who chose to give away the allowance - worth £200 for the over 60s rising to £300 for the over 80s.
