Billions of pounds in taxpayers' money lost to fraud and error during the Covid pandemic is likely to be gone "forever", a new report says.
Cross-party MPs claim HMRC's attempts to claw back some £2.3 billion incorrectly paid to employers claiming furlough has been "woeful".
They warn a decision to wind down the Taxpayer Protection Taskforce in 2024 "puts at risk" the recovery of money paid out as a result of fraud and error.
