answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2021 answer text <p>WPC Fletcher’s death remains as shocking and senseless today as the day it occurred, and I understand that the decision not to prosecute remains disappointing and frustrating for all her family, friends and colleagues.</p><p>The Government cannot comment on the details of this case. This is one of the most notorious crimes of the last forty years, representing an act of state-sponsored terrorism which resulted in the murder of a serving police officer on the streets of London. I would like to acknowledge the hard work and commitment the Metropolitan Police have shown over a prolonged period of time to bring to justice those involved in the murder of PC Fletcher.</p><p>In any case referred to the CPS by the police, a decision to prosecute is made in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors, and a case must meet the evidential and public interest stages of the Full Code Test. Ultimately, the difficult decision was taken that a prosecution could not proceed.</p><p>As I am sure that the Honourable Member will understand, I am unable to confirm or deny the existence of national security material.</p><p>In accordance with the Code, the CPS will consider any new information that is referred to them by the police in relation to this case and will continue to bring justice to offenders wherever possible.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 26/11/2021 13:40:36 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2021 answer text <p>Frauds that are committed online are pernicious crimes. They can cause terrible financial and emotional harm to victims. The Government has been working with partners in the public and private sectors to keep the public safe and bring these fraudsters to justice. <br> <br> DCMS are leading ground-breaking work on the Online Safety Bill. The Bill will require regulated companies to take action to tackle user-generated fraud on their platforms. This will impact some of the most harmful online fraud types such as investment and romance scams. DCMS are also leading work through the Online Advertising Programme that will consider, amongst other things, the role online advertising plays in enabling online fraud.</p><p>We have also been working closely alongside the National Cyber Security Centre who launched their Suspicious Email Reporting Service last year. This has already led to over 8.1 million reports received and the removal of over 67,000 scams and 124,000 harmful websites, since its inception in April 2020.</p><p>However, Government and the public sector cannot tackle online fraud alone. That is why, on the 21 October 2021, the Joint Fraud Taskforce was relaunched under my [Security Minister] chairmanship. The JFT brings together leaders from across the Government, private sector, regulators, law enforcement and victim groups to encourage collaboration to keep the public safe from these crimes. Alongside the relaunch, we published voluntary agreement with the retail banking, telecommunications and accountancy sectors outlining innovative measures to reduce fraud facilitated through these industries (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/joint-fraud-taskforce" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/joint-fraud-taskforce</a>). We are also engaging the tech sector specifically through the Online Fraud Steering Group.</p><p><br> We continue to encourage the public to report fraud to Action fraud and to forward any suspicious emails to <a href="mailto:report@phishing.gov.uk" target="_blank">report@phishing.gov.uk</a> and suspicious texts to 7726, free of charge.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 26/11/2021 13:42:50 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
