[MargaretR]

The way I read that - they simply compared the electoral list with the households where persons were claiming to live alone.
This shows naive stupidity on the part of the persons who committed the fraud, and leads me to ask -

1.- why was the electoral list not checked at the time the claim was made, and anually thereafter?

2.- what is being done to detect the households who claim this 'single person' reduction and have had the sense to make the electoral list show them as living alone?

A lazy fraud excercise which should not have been neccessary
