Written Question
Fraud
Friday 14th April 2023

Asked by: Dan Poulter (Labour - Central Suffolk and North Ipswich)

Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, what plans the Government has to tackle the harmful emotional and financial effects of fraud on vulnerable and elderly people.

Answered by Michael Tomlinson

The Government recognises the devastating impact of fraud on people’s lives, particularly the elderly and most vulnerable people in society. Raising awareness and safeguarding victims will form a key pillar of the Government’s forthcoming Fraud Strategy which will be published shortly. We will work with industry to remove the vulnerabilities that fraudsters exploit, with intelligence agencies to shut down fraudulent infrastructure, with law enforcement to identify and bring the most harmful offenders to justice, and with all partners to ensure that the public, including older and vulnerable people, have the advice and support they need.
