Mr Gregory Barker (Assistant Chief Whip, Whips; Bexhill and Battle, Conservative)
My hon. Friend makes a good point. He was able to handle a situation regarding inaccurate information. However, I have dealt with a number of such cases in my constituency of Bexhill, which has a large elderly population. Several of my elderly constituents become very distressed if they think that inaccurate information is being held on them, particularly when it is connected with debt or finance. These people live on small fixed incomes and have no margin of error in their household budgets. My hon. Friend's amendment would help.
