answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2017 answer text <p>Data for banking and credit card industry fraud are published by ONS on a quarterly basis. These data will cover frauds against individuals as well as industry bodies. The latest data are for year to June 2017 and are available in Table A5 at the link below:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/datasets/crimeinenglandandwalesappendixtables" target="_blank">https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/datasets/crimeinenglandandwalesappendixtables</a></p><p> </p><p>The way in which fraud offences are reported and subsequently recorded has changed in recent years. Previously, police forces were responsible for recording fraud offences, however, from April 2011 Action Fraud began gradually taking over the recording of fraud offences on behalf of individual police forces, completing in March 2013. Action Fraud is the UK’s national fraud and cybercrime reporting centre. The industry bodies Cifas and FFA UK also record data on fraud offences committed against their members.</p><p> </p><p>Information on fraud offences prior to the switch to Action Fraud can be found in Table A4 in the same link as provided above.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 27/11/2017 17:36:08 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace
