Government Departments: Fraud
- Question
-
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the Oral Evidence taken by the Treasury Select Committee on 27 April 2022 on HM Treasury’s role in combating fraud, for what reason his Department does not have a global target for reducing public sector fraud across Government.
- Answer
-
Fraud against the public sector is combatted by individual public bodies, some of whom have targets, and some who do not. HM Treasury and the soon to be launched Public Sector Fraud Authority will be working with public bodies to increasingly use data to have a greater impact on public sector fraud. The government will be transparent in the progress it makes.
