Debate

Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill

Contribution

We must be vigilant; we should not allow this provision, if adopted, to become a broad loophole that allows institutions to withhold critical data simply out of an abundance of caution or a desire to avoid administrative difficulty. If there is public money at stake, the Government must retain the ability to act.
