Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill

Contribution

Government new clauses 19 and 20 clarify that the Secretary of State can exercise the new investigatory powers in the Bill with devolved benefits only where those are administered by the Secretary of State on behalf of Scottish Ministers. They also clarify that Scottish Ministers’ existing powers under the Social Security Administration Act 1992 are not changed by this part of the Bill.
