Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many incidents of fraud were referred to UK Finance in each year since 2016 inclusive.

The Home Office collects information on the number of fraud offences that the NFIB refer to police forces for investigation and on the investigative outcomes recorded by the police.

This data is published annually as part of the Home Office’s ‘Crime Outcomes in England and Wales’ publication. This provides information on all fraud cases referred to the police for investigation and their outcomes, but we cannot separately identify those reported from different bodies in the data that we hold centrally. The latest available data for the year ending March 2022 can be found be here:
