Single Payment Scheme

Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 29 March 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Single Payment Scheme.
The hon. Member for Brecon and Radnorshire (Mr. Williams) and I had the pleasure of being the rapporteurs into the Rural Payments Agency during the first inquiry and the immediate aftermath in early 2006. Does the hon. Lady not acknowledge that the problems with the computer system's specification, design and implementation are unique neither to this Department nor to this Administration? The public sector especially contains senior civil servants and Ministers who are particularly susceptible to the blandishments of the snake oil salesmen who populate the computer software package industry. That is at the heart of our problem.
