Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 June 2025

Debate

Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill

Contribution

On Amendment 11, our approach in the Bill accommodates the variation in size and type of fraud investigations that the PSFA is likely to undertake. The Bill provides a minimum of 10 working days to comply, but in practice the information notice will be tailored on a case-by-case basis, each case being judged on its own merits, with the time period applied appropriately. This is a similar approach to that used by HMRC, and I assure the noble Baroness, Lady Finn, that we have engaged with the relevant third parties.
