Lord Vaux of Harrowden (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 June 2025

Debate

Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill

Contribution

The noble Baroness has not answered one question that I had. My understanding from Clause 89 is that these DDO rights—or however one describes them—can be used only where a person is convicted of an offence under this Act or any other enactment, or agrees to pay a penalty under Section 115A of the 1992 Act. Does that mean, therefore, that this does not apply to situations of error and that it is only fraud?
