Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 June 2025

Debate

Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill

Contribution

My noble friends on the Front Bench, here and at Second Reading, have emphasised that there will be human intervention, with decisions not being left to a computer algorithm. If that is correct, I struggle to see how this will be an effective way of proceeding. The whole point of this sort of exercise is to interrogate masses of data. It will be looked at by some form of algorithm. Perhaps we are talking about different stages of the exercise, and I ask my noble friend the Minister to explain that, if she cares to provide further details to the Committee before Report.
