More People Sign On To The Internet
This report says that in the last year 2,000,000 more people have signed on to the Internet in the UK. A lot of those who’ve signed up are over fifty.
This is a very good thing, asa it makes it possible for the government to deliver more and more services on line to do things more efficiently and at less cost.
As an example I always get my Vehicle Excise Duty on line and it is a system that works well. Similarly, I fill in my Electoral Roll on line. That one is conpletely painless. We certainly need an on line tax and benefits system on-line, that makes sure that people are encouraged to work.
The more people that get on line, the more these systems will be possible.
In most cases you can claim benefits online and fill in tax returns on line at http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Diol1/DoItOnline

I was more meaning something that brings it all together for those who do a job here and a job there. So if say they come off benefit for a job, that then folds after a few weeks, they don’t have to wait unduly to get back on benefit.
