Debate

Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill

Contribution

On the questions asked by noble Lords about information gathering, the information gathered under Clause 19(4) can be requested only for the purpose of determining a direct deduction order. However, if we find other fraud against the public sector, we can act on it under Clause 19(10).
