Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of including pension fraud as part of the Government's forthcoming fraud strategy.

The Government committed in our manifesto to introduce an expanded Fraud Strategy, which will cover all relevant types of fraud where criminals target the UK public and businesses, including pension fraud.

We will be engaging all relevant stakeholders in the development of the Strategy, and further details will be set out in due course.
