V

Viscount Younger of Leckie (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 June 2025

Debate

Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill

Contribution

I appreciate the noble Baroness’s very full response. This is more of a probing question. We have obviously been debating and talking about driving licences. The ultimate punishment or sanction is prison, but we obviously do not want to exercise that if possible, both for the individual and because we do not want to clog up prisons. But what other sanctions could there be? We have been talking about driving licences, but I know that, in the Child Maintenance Service, taking away passports was raised as a possible sanction. What thoughts does the noble Baroness have on that front?
