Rupert Lowe

Restore Britain — Great Yarmouth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 September 2026

Debate

Public Accounts Committee

Contribution

First, can I say how much I enjoy serving on the Public Accounts Committee with the hon. Lady? I think—and I am sure she agrees with me—that the key to correcting this situation is for the Government to make better decisions. It seems that a pattern of bad decision making has resulted in the necessity of these claims, which do take too long to be heard, and I fully support the Committee’s report, which suggests that we need an independent body to ensure that the Government are not seen to be marking their own homework and kicking the ball into the long grass for as long as they possibly can.
