Written question asked by Emily Thornberry (Labour) on Thursday, 7 September 2023, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 11 September 2023. It was answered by Edward Argar (Conservative) on Thursday, 14 September 2023 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.
Procurement: Fraud
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many individuals were (a) prosecuted and (b) convicted of offences relating to procurement fraud against (i) private sector companies and (ii) public sector organisations in each of the last four financial years.
- Answer
-
The Ministry of Justice publishes information on the number of defendants prosecuted and convicted for various offences under the Fraud Act 2006 in the Outcomes by Offence data tool: December 2022.
However, whether the offences relate to procurement or payroll fraud specifically, and whether they were against private or public sector companies, is not held centrally in the Court Proceedings database. This information may be held on court records but to examine individual court records would be of disproportionate costs.
