We believe, as I said at the beginning, that this is a very serious matter, and I urge the Minister accept the amendment, or to work with colleagues to bring forward a similar provision at a later date, perhaps on Report. We have a duty not only to recover fraudulently claimed funds but to stop that fraud happening in the first place. This is one step that will help us do just that. Going forward to tackle this issue, any steps that the Government take now to understand the scale of the problem will be most welcome. I beg to move.
