Speaking in the House of Lords on 11 June 2025

Debate

Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill

Contribution

Public money deserves high standards. We cannot afford to rely on voluntary best practice, opaque data and after-the-fact enforcement. The scale of the challenge, which this House has debated throughout the passage of the Bill, requires us to be proactive, not reactive. Amendment 68D offers a coherent and proportionate framework that would elevate fraud risk management across the public sector and equip both Parliament and the public with the information needed to track progress. I urge the Minister to consider it not as an imposition but as a strategic asset in helping us to achieve the outcome we all desire. I beg to move.
