	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/10/2020 answer text <p>As part of the Bounce Back Loan Scheme application process lenders undertake fraud checks, including Know Your Customer and Anti Money Laundering checks as required. In addition, the application form is clear – any individual who knowingly provides false information is at risk of criminal prosecution. We are working across Departments, and with lenders and law enforcement agencies, to tackle fraudulent abuse of the scheme.</p><p>Further details of how we expect the Bounce Back Loan Scheme to perform are set out in our accounts for 2019-20, a copy of which has been placed in the Libraries of the House. At this early stage, such estimates are naturally highly uncertain as reflected in the explanatory notes of the Accounts.</p> answering member constituency Sutton and Cheam answering member printed Paul Scully question first answered 01/10/2020 14:57:39 answering member 4414 label Biography information for Paul Scully
