Benefit rules should be tougher – poll
Sixty-six per cent of people think the benefit system should be toughened up to make it harder to claim, a survey conducted by YouGov for Channel 5 found. Two thirds of those asked also said they think the system is unfit for purpose, while three quarters said they oppose immigrants being allowed to claim in their first year of residency in the UK. The survey was conducted ahead of a debate on Channel 5 this evening about the benefits culture in Britain.
