Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to provide support to victims of investment fraud in (a) Slough constituency and (b) the South East.

As part of the Fraud Strategy 2026-2029 the Government committed to ensuring all victims of fraud receive the support they need. This includes operating Report Fraud, the new, streamlined reporting service, to provide a robust and improved reporting mechanism for victims of fraud. Further, all victims who report fraud to Report Fraud will receive support either directly from their local police force, or through Report Fraud Victim Services. Additionally, the Government has committed to producing a Victims Charter which will set out a minimum standard of care across all support providers, to ensure consistent victim support.
