Lord Fox (LD)
My Lords, does the Minister agree that whistleblowers have a big role in uncovering public sector fraud? Does she also agree that there is an awful lot more the Government could do both to encourage whistleblowers and to protect their identities? Will she agree with the measures my noble friend Lady Kramer has been talking about for a long time and bring in an office of the whistleblower to make this happen?
Baroness Twycross (Lab)
The noble Lord is correct; DBIST is undertaking a review into how this can be achieved.
