Access to Redress Schemes

Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 April 2024. It occurred during Backbench debate on Access to Redress Schemes.

That is not my experience. When we were setting up the advisory board for the Horizon compensation scheme, I asked officials to look at the mineworkers’ compensation scheme, which was a massive scheme. The problem is that, with the turnover of civil servants, corporate knowledge is lost. We need corporate knowledge to be held centrally in Departments—possibly in the Cabinet Office; otherwise, things left to Departments do not happen because people leave.
