I'd prefer a welfare system in which fraud is minimised so that those in genuine need receive the benefit. For £70m to go 'missing' is not acceptable to me.

Back in 2011 Motability made some changes these included limiting the cars available ,no more BMW's or Audis .They also placed restrictions on the named drivers ,they must live within 5 miles of the customer and only 2 drivers as standard this reduces the risk of relatives using the car for personal use .
Fair enough in the long term. What about the swindling in the shorter term though? Is it only me that thinks £70m is a lot of money?

It's not for me to say but the mods might prefer that you stay on topic.
