To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to protect consumers from artificial intelligence-enabled financial fraud and scams conducted through online platforms and messaging services.
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to protect consumers from artificial intelligence-enabled financial fraud and scams conducted through online platforms and messaging services.
This Government is deeply concerned by the devastating impact online fraud can have on victims, both financially and emotionally, including that which is artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled.
That is why, under the Online Safety Act (OSA), the Government has taken action to ensure online platforms and services are required to implement robust preventative measures to stop fraudulent content from reaching potential victims. AI content is treated no differently to other types of content under the OSA – if it is fraudulent in nature, platforms are required to prevent it from reaching users and take swift action if it does appear.
From mid-2027 the largest in-scope companies will also be required to take greater steps to prevent fraudulent adverts from appearing, including those that are AI-enabled.

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to reduce the incidence of fraudulent subletting of social housing properties.
I refer the Noble Lord to the answer given to Question UIN HL1437 (and attached) on 13 July 2026.
On the 8 July 2026, the government announced a new, innovative data-sharing partnership between the Public Sector Fraud Authority and Airbnb, which can be found on gov.uk here (and attached). Through this agreement, people illegally subletting social housing will be identified and may be removed from the property, ensuring that social housing properties remain there for the families who need them, and not in the hands of those using them illegally for personal gain.

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether HM Treasury has produced, commissioned or received an estimate of the total amount lost through fraud and error across Covid-19 support schemes that exceeds the published estimate of £10.9 billion.
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether HM Treasury has produced, commissioned or received an estimate of the total amount lost through fraud and error across Covid-19 support schemes that exceeds the published estimate of £10.9 billion.
Neither HM Treasury nor the Public Sector Fraud Authority have produced, commissioned or received an estimate of the total amount lost through fraud and error across Covid-19 support schemes that exceeds the published estimate of £10.9bn.
The Public Sector Fraud Authority’s (PSFA) estimate of £10.9bn is HMG’s best estimate for the level of fraud and error in COVID-19 support schemes. The methodology is derived from fraud measurement loss exercises or similar statistical modelling published by departments in their Annual Reports and Accounts.
In its 2023 report ‘Tackling fraud and corruption against government’, the National Audit Office (NAO) estimates that “fraud against the taxpayer rose from £5.5 billion in total over the two years before the pandemic (2018-19 and 2019-20) to £21 billion in total over the two years since the start of the pandemic (2020-21 and 2021-22).’ Of this £21 billion, £7.3 billion specifically related to fraud and error in COVID-19 support schemes.
The NAO and PSFA consider both their respective estimates are likely to be under-estimates.

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the need to update legislation to address the malicious use of artificial intelligence-generated voice and likeness cloning.
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the need to update legislation to address the malicious use of artificial intelligence-generated voice and likeness cloning.
‘Digital replicas’ can be a powerful tool, including for the creative industries. However, when someone’s likeness is replicated without their permission it can be harmful. The Government recognises the risks posed by the malicious use of AI-generated voice and likeness cloning.
Deepfakes and other forms of manipulated media are regulated by the Online Safety Act in the same way as ‘real’ content – that is where they are shared on an in-scope service and meet the definition of either illegal content, or content which is harmful to children. Services in scope of the Act must protect all users from illegal content, and children from harmful and age-inappropriate content, including where it is AI-generated.
We are also considering whether further measures may be needed to address emerging harms. To inform this, we will launch a consultation in the summer to seek views on how we address these harms, while protecting legitimate innovation.

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what discussions she has had with Ofcom on the implementation of duties relating to online fraud under the Online Safety Act 2023, with particular reference to paid-for advertisements impersonating insurers and insurance ghost broking.
Ministers and officials have regular meetings with a wide range of stakeholders, including Ofcom, on a number of subjects such as online fraud.
Under the Online Safety Act, services designated as Category 1 and 2A (large user-to-user and large search services respectively) will have additional duties to tackle paid-for fraudulent advertising. Ofcom published its register of categorised services on 10 July; on the same day, the regulator also launched consultations on additional duties for categorised services – including on fraudulent advertising.
