When will DWP and HMRC accounts not need to be qualified?
Apparently in yesterday’s Public Accounts Committee’s evidence session on fraud and error, when asked when the DWP’s and HMRC’s accounts will not need to be qualified ...
- Robert Devereux, DWP Permanent Secretary, said that he doubted if they ever will; and
- Lin Homer, HMRC Chief Executive and Permanent Secretary, said ‘when tax credits cease to exist’.
Minutes of evidence session now published - tweet above relates to question 156 onwards -
Recommended read!!!! Some very loaded language in there - and if I read it aright, Morse and Devereux do not like one another at all! Buried in there also is the remark - ‘Of course, universal credit is still six years off.’ Aha.
