Liz Kendall

Labour — Leicester West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 February 2025

Debate

Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill

Contribution

People who are genuinely entitled to claim benefits have nothing to worry about from this Bill, but we believe that the £7.4 billion wasted every year through benefit fraud must be cracked down on. To the corrupt companies with their dodgy covid contracts, to the organised criminal gangs and to every single individual knowingly cheating the system, our message today is clear: we will find you, we will stop you and we will get our money back.
