Failures Of The Benefits Agency

EDM number 601 in 1992-93, proposed by Harry Barnes on 19/10/1992.

That this House believes that thousands of people are in desperate circumstances due to massive failures in the operations of the Benefits Agency; and calls for the resignations of the Secretary of State for Social Security and the parliamentary Under-Secretary of State with responsibilities for the Benefits Agency, together with the disbanding of the Benefits Agency and the return of its duties directly to the Department of Social Security where the operations of the benefits system can once more be opened to parliamentary scrutiny.

This motion has been signed by a total of 62 MPs.
