Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 October 2025

Debate

Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill

Contribution

I hear the points made very clearly by the right reverend Prelate the Bishop of Leicester, and I will give him one piece of clarification. I may have misheard him, but I believe that he referred to the new powers. I want to be clear that the new recovery powers are not aimed at those on benefits. That is part of a broader debate, which is very useful to have in this place, and I very much value his contribution to that.
