New clause 6 is on whistleblowing. If we are serious about cutting fraud and error, we need to have confidence in our whistleblowing procedures for civil service staff. I experienced at first hand at the very beginning of my career what it is like to see public sector fraud being committed, and to feel the pressure of wanting to act, while not knowing what would happen to me or my career if I did the right thing; that is perhaps one of the biggest regrets of my life.
