Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what data his Department holds on the number of successful prosecutions for identity fraud in each of the last five years.

The number of prosecutions for identity fraud cannot be identified separately from broader fraud offences in data held centrally and published here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1063892/HO-code-tool-principal-offence-2020-revised.xlsx.

Information on identity fraud may be held on court records, but to be able to identify these cases would require examining individual court transcripts which would be of disproportionate cost.
