Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what steps he is taking to promote the use of the Post Office card by beneficiaries. [108322]

Malcolm Wicks

The information is presented in a way that enables customers to decide which account option is best for their individual circumstances.
