That this House welcomes the Coalition Agreement commitment to give residents the power to instigate local referendums; believes that this proposal should be strengthened as an extension of direct democracy and to shorten the distance between people and power; welcomes the provisions of the Local Referendums Bill that would enable residents to trigger referendums on any local issue and ensure that the results are binding; and urges the Government to incorporate these provisions into the Localism Bill as part of its commitment to put power in the hands of communities and individuals.

Gov Ministerial Statement - #wco Money (Work & Pensions: Fraud & Error (Benefits System))
Duncan Smith, Iain raised an interesting point.
Subject(s): Money; CMEC-CSA; Scrutiny
I am today publishing "Tackling fraud and error in the benefit and tax credits systems" a new joint DWP and HMRC strategy. This will be followed by a wider cross-government approach to tackling fraud, error and debt collection across the rest of the public sector being led by the Minister for the Cabinet Office. This strategy contains proposals to reduce significantly the level of fraud and error in the welfare system. It contains measures to prevent fraud and error from the outset of any claim; root out and correct mistakes where they do happen; deliver tough punishments for those who defraud the system; and deter those who would try to abuse the system in future. ...
Comment by #wco:
"All financial information should be shared between all relevant agencies (both central and local) to eliminate errors and inconsistencies. In addition, this would provide the basis for correct assessment of universal benefit payments in the future.
We would strongly suggest the concept of "Circumstance Payments" that would replace all current benefits. The idea of "Income Based" or "Contribution Based" should disappear, along with "Passport Benefits". Additional help (eg free prescriptions etc) would be granted based on the total household income rather than what type of benefit received."

“Our society rightly values the birth family as the primary source of care for children and young people and disrupting that bond is seen as a serious step to take, requiring close scrutiny before the courts will grant the legal authority to do so.†- Eileen Munro (1 Oct 2010), Munro Review of Child Protection Part 1, Page 23 http://bit.ly/Munro-1
Targeted MP contact list
For a list of MP's go to http://www.wheresmydad.org.uk/ - click on the Politics tab under the banner - click MP Listing option (or copy and paste http://wheresmydadorguk.giving.officelive.com/MPlist.aspx into your browser)
You should also notice an option called Contact Details (copy and paste http://wheresmydadorguk.giving.officelive.com/ContactDetails.aspx into your browser) which gives a complete list of the 650 Members of Parliament with their roles and more contact details where they are relevant to our wheresmydad.org.uk™ NRP Tool (our Facebook app is at http://www.facebook.com/NRP.Support)
Using the RSS option (at the very bottom of the page) and an application like Google Reader will give you a contact record and mailing list that is updated when we update our internal systems.
For a more targeted list, with membership details of relevant groups within Parliament use the Groups and Group Member options for a list by group, and by member respectively. Even if a Group Member is not your local MP, despite parliamentary convention, so long as an enquiry or comment is made to them in their specified role, the MP or peer should answer your communications. For completeness, we would recommend sending copy letters to your local MP anyway, just so there is no confusion or excuse to “fob you off” !
Remember always, THEY WORK FOR YOU and our MP’s and peers should never shirk their responsibilities to the electorate.
