Proceeding contribution from Richard Bacon (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on Public Accounts.

Lady mentioned tax credits, about which there have been various reports, but does she agree that one of the most extraordinary aspects is that HMRC now has a higher level of fraud and error than any other Department? The CAG has laid a qualified opinion against the accounts of the body that is supposed to collect taxpayers' money—a state of affairs that should not be allowed to continue.
