Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 30 June 2009. It occurred during Committee proceeding and Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

Surely the problem that must be surmounted is whether fraud occurs at the application stage or when the application is granted as a result of the applicant misunderstanding the application criteria. If the money has actually flowed, I can understand that it is fraud, pure and simple. If it has not yet flowed, I find it a lot more difficult to understand that it is fraud.
