	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2014 answer text <p>Before 2010 there was no coordinated action to tackle fraud, error and debt across Government despite the significant losses to the Exchequer. In 2011 alone the Annual Fraud Indicator estimated Government annual losses from fraud and error were over £30bn. It is also estimated that between £7bn and £8bn per annum is lost through debts owed to Government not being pursued.</p><p>This Government established the first cross-departmental taskforce to address this issue after the last General Election. In 2012-13 the Fraud, Error and Debt Taskforce reported savings and improved performance in detecting and preventing fraud and error of £6.5bn, and is overseeing initiatives to improve debt collection. Despite this progress we know there's much more to do. The reconstituted taskforce is chaired jointly by the Cabinet Secretary and myself, and attended by senior Ministers and Permanent Secretaries, supported by industry sector experts, to ensure there is full alignment towards further reducing fraud and error losses and improving debt collection in benefits and tax credits.</p><p>As was the case under previous administrations, minutes of internal meetings are not usually disclosed.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Mr Francis Maude question first answered 30/06/2014 16:34:49 answering member 115 label Biography information for Lord Maude of Horsham
