Furthermore, Amendment 71A would remove lines 19 to 24 on page 71 in Schedule 2—specifically, the provision that gives the Minister the power to make regulations concerning the eligibility of individuals to be members of the Public Sector Fraud Authority. At its heart, this amendment is about the prevention of executive overreach. It is about drawing a clear boundary between appropriate ministerial oversight and unwarranted ministerial control, particularly in the context of a body that must enjoy operational independence, public confidence and credibility in its mission to scrutinise fraud across government.
