Welfare bank spying powers a sledgehammer to crack a nut say campaigners

Monday, May 13, 2024 10:58

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Commenting on updated Government proposals to tackle fraud and error in the welfare system, including through new financial surveillance powers, Mark Johnson, Advocacy Manager at Big Brother Watch said:

“The Department for Work and Pensions proposed new bank spying powers are a sledgehammer to crack a nut. These Orwellian plans will compel banks to monitor all of our bank accounts and will subject millions of innocent Brits to suspicionless surveillance, treating them like criminals in the process.

“Everyone wants to see fraud tackled in the welfare system and throughout society more broadly but as the Government has shown, there are existing powers which can be used to do this based on reasonable suspicion. The proposed new financial surveillance powers are an affront to privacy in the UK. The Government should listen to the calls of rights groups, legal experts and Parliamentarians and junk these plans.”

ENDS.
