The BBC has reported Peter Hain as saying on the BBC1 Question Time programme, "I think the people that paid their money in on the basis of what they believed was the case and found their money was being smuggled away and robbed from them - that's very serious indeed."

Does that mean that Peter Hain will practise in his own Department for Work and Pensions what he has preached about the ITV robbery and smuggling of peoples’ money?

Thursday night [18.10.2007] saw ITV chief Michael Grade defend the perpetrators when interviewed by an accommodating Jon Snow on Channel 4 News.

Given that Hain fronts a Department that regularly allows £Billions to be stolen by big corporations and assurted contractors when the ‘benefit claimants’ get the blame, what moral authority dues Peter Hain have to make the statement that he did make?

Will Hain apply to his own DWP the same standard he preached about ITV?

Will he tell the public just how many contracts are currently the subject e disputes between the DWP and the perpetrator operatives whom the DWP keeps protecting from scrutiny?

Will Hain publish the breakdown of the DWP losses to contactors year-by-year fir the past 10 years?

Will he publish the corresponding sums that the DWP has claimed to have lest to bogus benefit claimants in the same period?

Will he publish the list of DWP [and DSS] employees that have been and were caught stealing from the public in that same time?

Will he say how many lawful claimants’ benefits have been withheld unlawfully and then reinstated without any explanation?

Will he say how many legal action notices are currently on the table at the DWP from claimants who have been harassed, violated and deprived illegally by the DWP?
