(1) After section 113B of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 (c. 5) insert— Health in pregnancy grant: civil penalty for fraud, etc. 113C Schedule 3A (health in pregnancy grant: civil penalty for fraud, etc.) has effect. (2) Before Schedule 4 to that Act, insert— SCHEDULE 3A Health in pregnancy grant: Civil penalty for fraud, etc. Penalty 1 (1) This paragraph applies where a person fraudulently or negligently— (a) makes an incorrect statement or declaration in or in connection with a claim for health in pregnancy grant, or (b) gives incorrect information or evidence in response to a requirement imposed on the person by virtue of section 5. (2) The Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs may make a determination imposing a penalty on the person. (3) The amount of a penalty imposed under this paragraph— (a) is to be determined by the Commissioners, but (b) may not exceed the amount of the grant. (4) A penalty imposed under this paragraph becomes payable at the end of the period of 30 days beginning with the date on which the notice is given. (5) The Commissioners must give notice of a determination imposing a penalty under this paragraph to the person on whom it is imposed. (6) The notice must— (a) state the date on which the notice is given, (b) state the date on or before which payment is due in accordance with sub-paragraph (4), and (c) give details of the right to appeal under paragraph 2. Appeal 2 (1) A person on whom a penalty is imposed under paragraph 1 may appeal to an appeal tribunal against the determination imposing it. (2) On an appeal under sub-paragraph (1), an appeal tribunal may— (a) set the determination aside, (b) confirm the determination, (c) reduce the amount of the penalty, or (d) increase the amount of it (but not so as to exceed the amount of the grant).

Recovery 5 A penalty payable under this Schedule is to be treated for the purposes of Part 6 of the Taxes Management Act 1970 (collection and recovery) as if it were tax charged in an assessment and due and payable.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
