Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 June 2025

Debate

Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill

Contribution

It is an interesting way in which to approach this issue, and I commend the Opposition for putting the amendment forward. I would be interested in seeing this, or a version of it, on Report that we could look at. The Government do not have anything to hide, if what they say is going to happen, will happen—then good. If not, the amendment is a responsible way in which to treat public money and public power: namely, if it is not working, scrap it.
