6 Jul 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-07-06)

Can I probe a little on the PPE example that you gave? That is fraud and error. To what extent does the error cover the ordering of PPE that was not required?

6 Jul 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-07-06)

How confident are you that we have the full extent of the potential loss? Are you confident in those assessments? Are you confident that each Department has maximised its ability to detect where that fraud might have occurred? What is the range for that £10.9 billion figure that you are working with?

52
6 Jul 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-07-06)

Oh, gosh. We are just talking about the fraud and error—

11
6 Jul 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-07-06)

Sorry; I thought the 68% was you saying that that is the amount.

13
6 Jul 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-07-06)

Okay. I do not really understand that.

6 Jul 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-07-06)

We have £1.7 billion detected—

5
6 Jul 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-07-06)

Okay. That is quite confusing, but thank you.

8
6 Jul 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-07-06)

And what was the figure that you have just given me?

11
6 Jul 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-07-06)

Billion? Okay.

2
6 Jul 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-07-06)

Yes, which is why I was curious about the 68%, which did not make sense in the context. Thank you. Which Department would like to go next?

27
6 Jul 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-07-06)

That brings me to a question for you, Beth. What is the process by which the Treasury decides whether it is feasible or value for money to pursue the recovery of fraud and error, and what guidance does the Treasury provide to the Departments to determine that?

47
6 Jul 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-07-06)

So £5 billion is being invested in recovery currently, or so far?

12
6 Jul 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-07-06)

We are just talking about the fraud.

7
6 Jul 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-07-06)

That is really helpful—thank you. Obviously, HMRC has had the lion’s share of recovery. You now have another period of six years—

22
6 Jul 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-07-06)

Do you mean million?

4
6 Jul 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-07-06)

What is the 68%, then?

5
6 Jul 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-07-06)

I think we are coming to that, so in the interests of time I will hand over, but you will have an opportunity.

23
6 Jul 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-07-06)

“The possibility of collecting better data”? Is that not a requirement?

11
6 Jul 2026Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-07-06)

When you say “partners in the sector”, do you mean local authorities?

12
6 Jul 2026 Civil Service Pensions

The family of a terminally ill constituent contacted me in desperation last month after trying to resolve the pension issues of their family member since January. She died yesterday, with her pension still unresolved. Can the Minister be more specific for that family about what will be done to resolve this issue? It is
