HC Deb 27 January 2003 vol 398 c660W
Mr. Robathan

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what information the Government's public information campaign on the payment and banking options available for benefit customers has disseminated, with particular reference to the personal invitation documents for the Post Office card account. [91134]

Malcolm Wicks

The Government's information campaign, to support the move to Direct Payment, provides customers with factual information on the banking options available to them, including information on the Post Office card account. The information is presented in a way that enables customers to decide which option is best for their individual circumstances. Customers who want to open a Post Office card account are advised to contact the Department for Work and Pensions, who will issue them with a personal invitation document.
