Speaking in the House of Lords on 11 November 2025

Debate

Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill

Contribution

I am not going to dwell in any great detail about the other points that have been raised, because I think we have covered them all. I will simply say that I hope the House can now unite behind the fact that it is in all our interests to make sure that fraud and error are tackled in our social security system and in our public services. This is what we should all be gathering around doing. Public money is tight enough; we need to make sure it goes to the places it is needed and to the people who need it. I am grateful for the constructive engagement. I think we have a better Bill now as a result, and we will all be able to go out there and get behind this now as we tackle the scourge of fraud and error in our society. I beg to move.
