Sir - The latest Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General found that the huge sum of over £2,000 million pounds is outstanding in unpaid taxes from companies, the self employed, etc. Despite all the hype of recent months, less than one tenth of that amount is estimated to be overpaid in Social Welfare.
Why, then, are 23 people now being prosecuted for Social Welfare fraud while not one is being prosecuted for tax fraud? - Yours, etc.,
