Proceeding contribution from Danny Alexander (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 February 2006. It occurred during Legislative debate on Social Security.
Social Security
Does the Minister accept that all the things that he has just described depend fundamentally on pensioners and benefit recipients being able to access those benefits in the first place? Does he agree that the Government’s decision on the card account will severely undermine people’s ability to access the benefits that are being uprated? Will the Government consider reversing that decision to enable full access to benefits for all the people who currently access them through their local post office?
