Debate between Charlie Dewhirst and Dan Jarvis

Monday 7th July 2025 Commons Chamber

Tackling fraud relies on collaboration between law enforcement, industry and Government Departments. That means everyone playing their part, and we continue to urge the tech and social media companies to take stronger action to stop consumers being defrauded when using their sites.
