Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 June 2025

Debate

Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill

Contribution

I listened to my noble friend’s speech and the obvious question is: why do you need the powers in this Bill? She seemed to say, in effect, that everything works all right now, so what extra is there in this Bill that cannot be done at the moment? Of course, the answer to that question is mass suspicionless surveillance of ordinary working people.
