Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how much his Department spent on tackling fraud in coronavirus business support schemes in (a) 2020 and (b) 2021.
It is difficult to put a figure on the total being spent on tackling Covid fraud as our response involves the contribution of many partners organisations.
Funding for subsequent years will be determined through the current Business Planning Process.
