Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Steve Barclay (Conservative). It was answered by Lord Maude of Horsham (Conservative) on Wednesday, 19 June 2013 on behalf of the Cabinet Office.
Anti-fraud Activities
- Question
- To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of counter-fraud activities across Government.
- Answer
-
The National Fraud Authority estimates that the public purse loses more than £20 billion a year to fraud. That figure has been far too high for far too long. Last year, the Departments that engaged with the cross-Government taskforce that I chair saved an estimated £5.9 billion. However, we know that there is much more to do.
