Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what information his Department holds on the number of fraudulent documents received by the Pensions Ombudsman in each year since 2010-11.
In view of the Pensions Ombudsman’s independent status, information about the documents he receives is held by him alone. The Pensions Ombudsman has advised that the information requested is unavailable because he does not collect data on the number of suspected fraudulent documents received by his office.
