One of my correspondents has responded to one of my blogs and, since he makes a very good point, I quote it in full:
A small fortune is spent by the government in trying to stop the illegal practice of benefit fraud (you've all seen the TV ads!).
According to the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee, benefit fraud last year cost the public purse £800 million.
By comparison, HM Revenue & Customs announced that for 2008/9 it was unable to collect £40 billion due to tax evasion, fraud and flaws in the system. This was perpetrated by people who are the complete opposite to the genuine & desperate needy who rely on benefits.
£800 million against £40 billion - it makes you think, doesn't it?
I wonder when we will see TV ads to stop this greedy pilfering?
