Government ‘enriched fraudsters at the expense of the taxpayer’, says Rayner

In an opposition day debate, deputy leader of the Labour party Angela Rayner accused the government of “enriching fraudsters at the expense of the taxpayer and creating a new mountain of waste”.

Responding, health minister Will Quince said: colleagues “must cast their minds back to where we were three years ago as we stood on the precipice of a global health emergency, the likes of which had not been seen for over a century”.
