Petition Freeze Benefit Payments

More details

We want the Government to freeze benefit payments.

The Government has frozen the pay of many people in work and has stated that it wants to encourage people to work. Freezing the pay of others whilst increasing benefit payments does not fit with this. We all have to contribute to reducing the deficit.

This freeze would save billions of pounds.
