A Commons Treasury Committee expressed concern about a £71 million fine imposed on the American computer giant EDS, which appeared to partially reward the firm for its failure to install a network to deal with the tax credit system.
EDS agreed to pay the Government £71 million after the original IT system it installed proved unsatisfactory. It later emerged that £26.5 million of that money depended upon EDS winning other government contracts.
