..I don't think it's the majority of people who spend it on alcohol, cigarettes etc though...most people on benefits that I know budget very carefully and their children are prioritised...I think it's hard enough for peope to do that though without it changing to vouchers, which seems to me like a demoralising thing to do...


..and then Birthdays and Christmas etc and anytime parents save up for a treat for their children...so the government would decide how many vouchers to give them and how much they can spend, even if they've saved up for it and budgeted under the present scheme....take away all their choices...?...
