Dundee Liberal Democrats have today (Friday 26th May) expressed concern over new statistics released by the Department for Work and Pensions showing that targets for reducing levels of fraud and error in payments of Income Support, Job Seekers Allowance and Pensions Credit have been missed.
Dundee LibDem local party secretary Michael Charlton said, "The Labour Government's failed record in tackling benefit fraud and error is simply wasting public money."
"The Government must act to reduce this waste of public money, if it is to counter the charge that its administration is drowning in a self made tidal wave of tax and benefits bureaucracy."
