Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) BillContribution
We have pressed the Government several times, both at Second Reading and during these Committee days, to provide us with more information on how many people have been subject to legal proceedings as a result of so-called sickfluencing. I am afraid that we have not yet had an answer to this question. If the Government insist that the current legal framework is sufficient to take action against those who share this sort of information, we do not really need to know the evidence that they have for this claim. Furthermore, if the legal framework is sufficient as it stands, perhaps the Minister could tell us now how it would be applied to the two people whom I have mentioned.
