However he withdrew it claiming that he was aware government was going to table an amendment to it which would make it ‘untenable’ and ‘kick it into the long grass’.
Mr Hooper says he’s now due to meet with the treasury minister to try and progress the issue:

Treasury writes off £340,000 in benefits overpayments in three years
