Do not introduce regular bank account checks for benefit claimants

(Estimated Final Signatures: 24,543 - 27 added in the past 24hrs)
Most benefit claimants are not fraudsters, and we believe Ministers are taking too aggressive an approach towards benefit claimants, in a way which denies freedom and rights of privacy, and seems to treat all benefit claimants like fraudsters.
