Mr. RobertsonTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will assess the practicability of introducing a 90-day limitation period for the recovery of overpaid sums by public bodies. [120353]
§ Mr. TimmsWe have no plans to review the current rules on recovery of overpayments. The rules are designed to protect the public purse while also ensuring that the recipients of overpayments are treated fairly.
