Proceeding contribution from Liz Kendall (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 3 February 2025. It occurred during Debate on bill on Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill.


Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill

People who are genuinely entitled to claim benefits have nothing to worry about from this Bill, but we believe that the £7.4 billion wasted every year through benefit fraud must be cracked down on.

To the corrupt companies with their dodgy covid contracts, to the organised criminal gangs and to every single individual knowingly cheating the system, our message today is clear: we will find you, we will stop you and we will get our money back.
