A Green Party social media graphic featuring Natalie Bennett, Green Party Peer. The background shows a dark, empty plate on a wooden table, symbolising financial hardship. The headline reads “Scrutinising Child Benefit Decisions and Data Use.” Below, the text quotes Natalie Bennett’s House of Lords question: “Following reports that HMRC sent out more than 23,000 letters about stopping child benefit after overseas travel, I ask the government, what data sources they used, what checks they made about the legality of this use, and whether a sudden rise in stopping child benefit led to any internal assessment of procedures.” The Green Party logo appears at the bottom alongside Natalie Bennett’s photo and name.

Thousands of families reportedly received letters about stopping child benefit after overseas travel.

I’ve asked the Government how this data was used, whether it was legal, and if any internal review took place.
