Debate

Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill

Contribution

Government amendments 75 and 76 will allow the PSFA to investigate and pursue enforcement action in respect of the offences in sections 6 and 7 of the Fraud Act 2006. Those offensives involve possessing, making and supplying articles for use in fraud against a public authority. The amendments will enable the PSFA to tackle the widest range of influencer-style offences, which we discussed earlier, in the same way that the DWP already can, which was a matter of concern to some Bill Committee members.
