Government's s... Liberal Democrats

Commenting on reports that staff at the Department for Work and Pensions have
been sending out highly sensitive data in packages that include the passwords,
Liberal Democrat Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, Danny Alexander
said:
"The Government’s strategy for protecting citizens’ personal information is a
shambles.
"We’ve had mislaid CDs, lost laptops and now passwords are being circulated
with the information they are supposed to protect.
"Data protection is being undermined across Whitehall - the very idea that
this Government could be responsible for an ID card database is a
joke."
Repossessions ... Liberal Democrats

Commenting on the 17% rise in repossession orders in
the past year in England and Wales, announced today by the Government,
Liberal Democrat Shadow Chancellor, Vince Cable said:
"The number of families threatened with repossessions is on course to be the
highest since 1991, at the height of the Tory recession.
"Repossession claims have skyrocketed since last year. Many families could
well end up losing their homes in the months ahead.
"The Prime Minister's pride and stubbornness has made him completely
unwilling to recognise the dangers in the housing market. It is overstretched
households that will pay the price.  
"This Government must stop having vague discussions with mortgage lenders and
instead clearly lay out the procedures which must be followed before a property
can be repossessed.
"Repossession must only ever be a last resort. Lenders must seek all possible
alternatives before taking such action."
Darzi's pledge... Liberal Democrats

Commenting on Lord Darzi’s five NHS pledges that were published today
[Friday], Liberal Democrat Shadow Health Secretary, Norman Lamb said:
"These pledges are nothing more than vacuous spin.
"This document talks about change being locally led, yet the Government has
already ordered all Primary Care Trusts to open a polyclinic, regardless of any
local need for one.
"No amount of desperate dressing-up can conceal the fact that the forthcoming
Darzi report is set to ride roughshod over the wishes and needs of many local
areas."
Government fai... Liberal Democrats

Commenting on today’s [Wednesday] Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
Committee report on last summer’s flooding, Liberal Democrat Shadow
Environment Secretary, Steve Webb said:
"This report shows that the Government is failing to grasp the seriousness of
the situation. With severe floods likely to become more common due to climate
change, we need a real strategy and real investment to protect high-risk areas.
"Current funding is totally inadequate. The ABI, the Government’s own
Foresight report and the agency responsible for flood defences are all calling
for spending to be increased to £1bn, but their advice is falling on deaf ears.
"The £200m increase the Government announced last year does not stand up to
scrutiny when inflation and rising costs in the building trade are taken into
consideration. It is too little to cope with the increasing risks the country
faces, and doesn’t even come fully into effect for another two years.
"The £34.5 million the Government has set aside to implement the
recommendations in the interim Pitt Review looks like the money they’ve got left
over. The Government has failed to provide any details about how this money will
be spent, or about how the Pitt Review will be funded in the future.
"The report also reveals that no one is responsible for protecting people and
properties from surface water, which caused around two-thirds of the flooding
last summer.
"It is time for the Government to clarify who is responsible and ensure that
all sources of flooding are properly addressed, so that thousands of people are
saved from a repeat of the misery still being suffered by so many after last
year’s floods."
