Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 June 2025

Debate

Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill

Contribution

Furthermore, the debt recovery mechanism that we are proposing is not new to government. It is already used without needing to apply to the courts—by HMRC, under Schedule 8 to the Finance (No. 2) Act 2015, and the Child Maintenance Service, under Part 3 of the Child Support (Collection and Enforcement) Regulations 1992. There are established best practices for how it can be used effectively and proportionately, which will be utilised by the PSFA.
