Automated Payment Of Benefits At Post Offices

EDM number 1650 in 1997-98, proposed by David Rendel on 02/09/1998.

That this House urges the Government not to abandon the automation of post offices to pay benefits by swipecard; further urges the Government to ensure that the system introduced by ICL is adaptable for other Government services and to deploy this powerful facility against benefit fraud; seeks an acceleration of the timetable to adapt the remaining post offices; and calls on the Government to balance the interests of post offices, especially in rural areas and claimants of social security benefits in achieving the most effective and secure system.

This motion has been signed by a total of 26 MPs.
