Written Question
Ministry of Defence: Fraud
Monday 29th April 2024

Asked by: Maria Eagle (Labour - Garston and Halewood)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 18 April 2024 to Question 21551 on Ministry of Defence: Fraud, if he will provide a breakdown of the number of cases for each category for each financial year.

Answered by Andrew Murrison - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence)

The number and detected values of fraud listed below for each financial year represent the categories provided in Question 21551. The total detected fraud values vary slightly from those provided in the letter on 27 February, reference 3427, because the assessed detected value of fraud can change as a case progresses. Since 2010, the information capture requirement has evolved with reporting needs; this is most evident following a review undertaken in 2020.
