Debate
Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) BillContribution
and then it gives a list of examples. I think many people do not recognise how completely the existing whistleblowing framework is embedded into and framed by employment law. It applies not even to workers in general but to a fairly narrow body of workers, and therefore to think it can be applied elsewhere simply does not work. A separate channel is going to have to be created, or else PIDA will have to be completely ripped up and reformed, but we have this Bill in front of us. My plea to the Minister is: in creating a new body focused on fraud, please will she think again about making sure that it has the tools it needs to be fully effective? It is an opportunity I ask her not to miss. I beg to move.
