Petition Action

Replace Jobseekers Allowance With Food & Utilities Vouchers

Additional Information

Unemployed who sign on for benefits should be given vouchers instead of cash payments. These vouchers should allow jobseekers to redeem them for food, non-alcoholic drinks, rent and utilities. This would stop people exploiting the benefits system, and the generosity of the British taxpayer, to buy alcohol, cigarettes, satellite tv, etc, and encourage them to get a job if they want to enjoy luxury goods.
