Petition Action

Persons convicted for crime should NOT qualify for any benefits for 5 years

Additional Information

Persons convicted for inditable crime should NOT qualify for any benefits for a period of time up for discussion. My view is 5 years.

Many people who commmit crime are on benefits. This as a law would reduce crime and also reduce the high cost of benefits for DWP.

Up for discussion could be the type of crime (inditable) or the length of time of the benefit banning.

People committing crime should not be adding to the cost of welfare for Great Britain.

Appeals could be considered in certain circumstances.
