Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to tackle crash-for-cash car insurance fraud.
Answered by Kevin Foster
The Government is aware criminals are committing these crimes, without any regard to the safety of fellow road users. We are clear this is unacceptable, and it is a priority to ensure these fraudsters have no space to operate.
The City of London Police’s Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department (IFED) works tirelessly to bring ‘Crash for Cash’ criminals to justice. Since the unit was established, investigations conducted by IFED have led to the convictions of hundreds of insurance fraudsters.
We, law enforcement and private sector partners continue to provide advice to the public on how to avoid these crimes and what to do they have fallen victim.
The Government has agreed to work with the private sector to develop a new action plan to tackle fraud, including insurance fraud, to close vulnerabilities in the system and to strengthen the law enforcement response.

Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care on prioritising frontline police officers and firefighters for covid-19 vaccination.
Answered by Kit Malthouse
The Home Office is in regular contact with the Department for Health and Social Care on vaccination prioritisation issues. Decisions are guided by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI). The first phase of prioritisation is split across nine sequential groups, including those considered clinically vulnerable and those over the age of 50. Police and Fire and Rescue personnel falling into these categories will be offered the vaccine as part of the roll out. In addition, PCSOs, Special Constables and Volunteers will also be captured within the phase 1 prioritisation as will any personnel involved in direct patient care, such as driving ambulances.
