Powers of Attorney Bill

Proceeding contribution from Jane Stevenson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 17 March 2023. It occurred during Debate on bills on Powers of Attorney Bill.

I hope I am not going beyond the scope of the Bill, but does my hon. Friend share my concern about local council provision, which has to balance digital accessibility with maintaining access to many services for a generation who are less familiar with tech? On powers of attorney, there needs to be clarity for people who are approaching that time. It cannot be only digital; there needs to be physical help and access. I am concerned that in some services councils provide, such as parking, council tax or green bin collections, they are going digital slightly too quickly.
