Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 September 2026

Debate

Business Rates Avoidance Schemes

Contribution

My Lords, I know from having had ministerial responsibilities for public sector fraud that there is much scope for reducing it in local authorities. Scams relating to empty business premises are a very good example of this. Do the Government have any wider plans to tackle fraud in local authorities, perhaps with the support of the Public Sector Fraud Authority, and to get at the problems that we have been hearing about?
