Post Office Card Accounts (EDM412)

Post Office Card Accounts

EDM number 412 in 2007-08, proposed by David Drew on 27/11/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Benefits administration, Data protection and Family benefits.

That this House, in the light of the disastrous loss of data discs containing child benefit details, urges the Government to re-assess the value of the Post Office Card Account (POCA) as an alternative means of paying pensions and child benefit direct into bank accounts; and urges recipients to realise that POCAs are a safer, better and more cost-effective method of receiving payments.

This motion has been signed by a total of 54 MPs.
