mr. corbin, i'd say ms. garza, is it right to say that much like in 2015, individuals were seeking the information necessary to file fraudulent returns? ms. garza: that's correct. mrs. maloney: yet this time individuals were much less successful in obtaining the returns. according -- would you like to comment on that? according to g.a.o., identity theft at the i.r.s. has decreased in recent years because the i.r.s. has improved its ability to detect fraud efore processing a return. this approval detection ability is illustrated by the fact that automatic security filt filthers were able to stop almost 65% of potentially fraudulent refunds from being issued in the data retrieval tool incident. is that correct? mr. corbin: that is correct. mrs. maloney: we can't stop all cyberattacks, that's the reality today. but we can learn from them. i think you have shown your bility to do that. when you file, why would somebody want to file a fraudulent return? what was the purpose of it? mr. corbin: congresswoman, most p

mr. corbin and mr. kemist know that we will be letting you know exactly how many fraudulent returns were filed as a result of the breach and when those people obtained that information. and we will want an answer in what most of us would consider reasonable time. it has been extraordinarily difficult today to get any kind of specific answer out of any of you. and i think mr. mitchell's comment about the scarecrow was entirely apt. you're blaming each other. the american people, frankly, are tired of this kind of display of incompetence again. you all cannot answer questions or will not answer questions. it's a little difficult to know. let me tell you something, in my world, $30 million is a lot of money, a lot of money. and you all don't seem to take it seriously at all, that as a result of your not being able to take action when a breach is made and you're not following the law to let congress know, it's even more troubling to me that you take so long to do anything. mr. grothman's comments about a do

mr. corbin. >> i'm also unsure. >> mr. cammas. >> we will be watching closely. >> i think you've given the american people great confidence today from the irs when you tell us you cannot secure the systems. mr. runcie, i want to come back to you. i've been hearing troubling reports regarding the collection of defaulted student loans, and we've been hearing a lot about that this morning. currently, struggling borrowers in default are without the critical services needed to rehabilitate hair loans or other -- their loans or other benefits. this is the responsibility of the department. can i get a commitment from you and the department to provide my staff with critical information needed to assess the current loan default situation? >> absolutely. >> and when? >> two weeks. >> and when? can we get, when will we know what the critical information is? when you get that to us? >> we can define what the critical information is within two weeks, and we could get you the information within a month, so we'll have that to you within

mr. corbin, i know you don't want to set a target for immigration. but can you simply say if you think it would be good for the country if the immigration level was reduced, if immigration came down. >> mr. corbin, to be crystal clear for our viewers, for good or for ill, do you think it's time to pay for your ideas to tax more, spend more and borrow more? >> thank you very much. the manifesto is absolutely clear we believe fracking is very damaging to the environment and therefore they have made the statements on that and i'm sure you understand and accept them and the way those. i thank him for the work he has done. he is nodding in agreement so it must be true. >> on the issue of immigration, there is immigration from all parts of the world. those that have migrated to this country have made an immense, in our mess and fantastic contribution to our society. without those.

mr. corbin quickly became the favorite.won by a landslide and soon he was answering his first prime minister question. >> i'm taking part in many events around the country and conversations with many people about what they thought about this place, our parliament, our democracy and our conduct within this place. many told me they thought prime minister question time was too theatrical and parliament was out of touch into theatrical and they wanted things differently, but above all they wanted their voice heard in parliament. if we are able to change questions and make it a more genuine exercise in asking questions and answering questions, no one would be more delighted than me. >> so a new approach to prime minister questions and a fresh look at the house of commons assembly. 177 new and peace have been elected in may and they all had to make a maiden speech. these are noncontroversial but a new conservative and peed decided to dispense with that convention. she used her maiden to launch an attack on the government's announ
