Business question from Baroness Stuart of Edgbaston (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 October 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

The House takes identity fraud and its prevention very seriously, and we have passed legislation on it, but may we have a debate to look at whether some of the relevant agencies are properly implementing the measures we have provided, because if the experience of a constituent of mine is anything to go by, it would appear that it is possible to go to post office depots and ask for post to be delayed without the proper identification requirements? That gives fraudsters a window of two or three weeks in which they can use an identity before its use is even discovered by the people affected.
