Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many officials in his Department worked on preventing fraud in the coronavirus business support schemes in each month since April 2020.
HM Treasury takes a flexible and dynamic approach to resourcing to meet Government priorities. We have officials delivering priority work, including on preventing fraud in the COVID-19 business support schemes. However, we do not routinely record the number of civil servants working on individual policy initiatives.
