Written Question

Public Sector: Fraud

Thursday 24th April 2025

Asked by: Matt Turmaine (Labour - Watford)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps he is taking to reduce fraud in the public sector.

Answered by Georgia Gould - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office)

In January, the government introduced the Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill as part of the biggest fraud crackdown in a generation. The measures in the Bill will give us more tools to combat fraud, recover public money and allow the government to investigate fraud.

The Public Sector Fraud Authority is also developing artificial intelligence tools to tackle fraud - and is expected to surpass the PSFA’s £250m 2024-25 audited benefits target from these services.
