Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps she is taking to monitor the work of the Fraud Prevention Centre to help ensure investigations are completed in a timely and efficient manner.

The Fraud Prevention Centre (FPC) has been set up to strengthen defences against identity‑based fraud and improve coordination of prevention, detection and response across the department. It is bringing together previously decentralised activity into a single, accountable function, to improve oversight, consistency of investigations, and support for affected customers. As the capability matures, the operation of the FPC continues to be monitored as it embeds within HMRC’s wider fraud response.
