David Cameron: your comments today show you to be sanctimonious, hypocritical and bigoted. Many NRP’s are actively stopped from contact and providing emotional support for their children both by the “system” and the Parent With Care – causing real heartache and resentment. http://ping.fm/4Q5ml

Gov Ministerial Statement - #wco Benefits (Work & Pensions: Universal Credit (Review of Passported Benefits))

Grayling, Chris raised an interesting point.

Subject(s): Benefits; Equality; Money; Regulation

My hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State responsible for welfare reform, Lord Freud of Eastry, has made the following statement:

We have commissioned the Social Security Advisory Committee to undertake an independent review of passported benefits and how they link with universal credit. Passported benefits include, for example, free school meals, free milk and vitamins, free prescriptions, optical and dental care.

The Committee has been asked to produce an advisory report, taking account of the UK Government's view that changes should not involve a net increase in public expenditure and the benefit system should be as simple as possible. I have placed a copy of the terms of reference in the Library.

Gov Ministerial Statement - #wco Family Courts (Justice: Face to Face Services (Civil and Family Court Offices))

Djanogly, Jonathan raised an interesting point.

Subject(s): Family Courts; Legal Aid

Following the creation on 1 April of Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS), I have agreed that the agency should explore the potential to modernise the way in which face to face services in the civil and family courts are provided through its public counters. This will allow a clearer focus of resources on those services which require face to face service and those which should be conducted through alternative means such as online or via the telephone. ...
