Following on from an earlier story here, on DWP being able to "arrest" fraud suspects, etc,
which I doubt they will ever be able to do under any Law, as that would still require Police, especially in wake of the Post Office scandal, DWP still want to force Banks to check customers' accounts, and demand access to those accounts if DWP suspect fraud.
I'd imagine most Banks being reluctant to allow such access for a good many reasons.
However, that such measures are even being suggested as actual Govt. policy, is appalling.
So there is this new petition on the go.
