Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 June 2025

Debate

Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill

Contribution

The noble Baroness makes an interesting point. That is why the Cabinet Office and the PSFA are adopting a test-and-learn approach to see what will and will not work. Having said that, we have to be realistic that we will not always be able to recover funds and someone has to pay for the cost of the investigation. The balance of what that looks like is something we will have to explore as cases progress.
