Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to give a single senior official authority over different parts of the Ministry of Defence responsible for combating financial losses due to fraud.
The Head of Fraud Defence acts on behalf of the Department where the Ministry of Defence is potentially the victim of economic loss.
The fraud transformation plan we are working up will deliver more integrated ways of working, with clearer accountability across the Department, leveraging the changes under Defence Reform.
