Speaking in the House of Lords on 11 June 2025

Debate

Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill

Contribution

Amendment 63B is rooted in the idea that serious powers demand independent oversight. If we are to impose financial penalties based on what might have happened and hypothetical losses, the judgment must not rest on ministerial opinion alone; it must be subject to review by a body equipped to apply law and reason impartially—the First-tier Tribunal.
