To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps his Department is taking to improve support for victims of fraud.
This question was answered on 3rd November 2021
In April 2021, the new Code of Practice came into force setting out the key rights of victims of crime, including the right of referral to specific support services. This may include referral to specialist support services for victims of fraud.
In 2021/22, the MoJ is providing £150.5m for victim and witness support services. This will support victims of all crime types, including victims of fraud.
