However, many people have serious problems in obtaining online access – those who are seriously poor, blind, mentally of limited capacity, and/or just isolated and not well informed. It is unreasonable that all such people should lose the right to public services, pensions, bus passes, TV licences etc. that they’ve paid for all their lives. We request that the Government withdraws the proposal.
