Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment her Department has made of the readiness of UK companies which were subject to fraud to report the incident to the police.
The Home Office is responsible for fraud against individuals and businesses and fraud against the public purse is the responsibility of the Public Sector Fraud Authority.
The Fraud Strategy sets out a comprehensive whole system approach to make sure fraudsters cannot target the British public and our businesses. We will increase law enforcement investigative capacity to tackle all fraud, including procurement and payroll fraud.
