Written Question
Social Security Benefits: Fraud
Monday 27th October 2025

Asked by: Torcuil Crichton (Labour - Na h-Eileanan an Iar)

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps he is taking to help reduce losses from fraud in the benefits system.

Answered by Andrew Western - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions)

The department has made strides in turning the tide on fraud and error in the benefits system, with the overall rates dropping since the peak in overpayments in 2022. We welcome the recognition of this progress in the NAO’s recent report.

We will continue to go further with the Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill which is estimated to save £1.5bn by 2030, as part of a wider package of £9.6bn of savings.

Prostate Cancer: Scotland
Monday 27th October 2025

Asked by: Torcuil Crichton (Labour - Na h-Eileanan an Iar)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has considered ensuring that the TRANSFORM trial includes representation from Scotland.

Answered by Zubir Ahmed - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

The Department invests over £1.6 billion each year on research through its research delivery arm, the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR).

In November 2023, the Government and Prostate Cancer UK (PCUK) announced the £42 million TRANSFORM screening trial to find the best way to screen men for prostate cancer, in order to find it before it becomes advanced and harder to treat. PCUK is managing the award on behalf of the funders, with the Government contributing £16 million through the NIHR.

Once received, the protocol will be published on the NIHR’s website on the funding and awards page. This is expected to contain details of the site selection criteria. TRANSFORM will aim to recruit men from across the United Kingdom, including Scotland.
