But that is what politicians do when they want to spin a statistic into something different.
Until fraud and error are separated your statistic is meaningless.

Its completely relevant for what I'm arguing. My figures assume there is no error, and all £2.6 billion is for fraud. If more of it is spent on error, it simply increases the number of years ID cards will take to pay back, hence reducing the cost effectiveness even further.
