Default Treasury minister Lord Agnew Resigns over covid business loan fraud

[A minister has resigned at the despatch box
after criticising the government's record
on tackling fraud in the
coronavirus business schemes.

Lord Agnew, who was both a
Treasury and Cabinet Office minister,
dramatically quit his role in
Boris Johnson's government in
the House of Lords on Monday afternoon,
saying the Department for Business,
Energy and Industrial Strategy
had shown a "lamentable" oversight
of COVID loan schemes which has
resulted in large amounts of fraud
being committed.

The peer told the chamber that the
Treasury "appears to have no knowledge
or little interest in the consequences
of fraud to our economy or our society",
adding that a mix of "arrogance,
indolence and ignorance freezes
the government machine".]

Fraud?

Fraud is highly illegal. I hope someone is being questioned at the Police station as we speak.

I'll look forward to seeing what sentence is received for this crime.
