Written Question
Solicitors: Fees and Charges
Monday 2nd February 2026

Asked by: Helen Morgan (Liberal Democrat - North Shropshire)

Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Solicitor General, what assessment she has made of the levels of paid ad spoofing in the no win no fee sector.

Answered by Ellie Reeves - Solicitor General (Attorney General's Office)

It is not possible to identify where prosecutions of fraud are specifically related to paid ad spoofing in the no win no fee sector, as this would require manual checks at a cost disproportionate to the public interest.

In the 12 months ending June 2025, the CPS prosecuted 7,446 defendants, where Fraud and Forgery was the principal offence. In the same period, the CPS charged 77.3% of all Fraud and Forgery category cases that were referred to it by law enforcement and maintained a consistent conviction rate of 86.5%.
