Rejected petition Remove abuse from the benefits system

More details

A simple way to remove the abuse of our benefits system is to provide food / lunch vouchers and clothing vouchers instead of cash.
This would dissuade multi- benefit claimants,i.e. fraud (as in many recent cases), and would also ensure our hard earned taxes are used for the good of society not drugs or alcohol.
