LANCASTER taxpayers are losing £150 a year each because of benefits fiddles, a new report has revealed.
The report by the Audit Commission says that £4 billion every year is fraudulently claimed each year.
Tory prospective parliamentary candidate Steve Barclay said: "Labour are letting the benefit cheats take £150 per year out of the pockets of hardworking taxpayers in Lancaster and Wyre. These people deserve less spin and more action."
