For Parliament to debate the £4.3b writing off of fraudulent Covid claims.
The chancellor has announced he is writing off £4.3b of fraudulent claims made by companies during the Covid pandemic. We believe that as these are public funds & set against the governments insistance at prosecuting all other benefit fraud we believe this is wholly wrong.
It is important that all public money is accounted for and where cases of fraud are suspected that these are fully investigated and where necessary offenders prosecuted in the courts. This is vital to maintain public trust and it a matter of public interest.

If you want the Government to review this decision, or increase funding to pursue fraudulent claims under this scheme, we could accept a petition requesting this.
