answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2022 answer text <p>These savings, £340,104, were generated through the Cabinet Office National Fraud Initiative (NFI) for London Councils rather than a Department. The NFI is a data matching exercise which involves 1200 organisations from across the UK. In this case, the NFI worked with London Councils, an organisation that represents and provides services for London’s 32 boroughs and the City of London, to identify where freedom passes or taxi cards were still live, and could be used, despite the holder having passed them on. This resulted in the cancellation of passes and cards with an associated value of £340,104. Although assigned to London Councils, ultimately these savings are realised by London Boroughs and the taxpayer.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North East Somerset answering member printed Mr Jacob Rees-Mogg question first answered 19/04/2022 11:46:42 answering member 4099 label Biography information for Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2022 answer text <p>These savings, £63,602, were generated through the work of the Cabinet Office National Fraud Initiative (NFI) for private sector utilities companies, rather than government departments, as a result of proactive data analytics using government data. The NFI is a data matching exercise which involves 1200 organisations from across the UK. Since 1996, more than £2bn of fraud or error has been detected or prevented through the NFI.</p><p>In this particular case, information provided to the NFI, primarily for the prevention and detection of public sector fraud, has also been utilised to prevent fraudulent losses for private sector utilities companies. Fraudsters operate across the public and private sector. In order to best minimise government and private sector losses, it is important that we also collaborate across organisations and sectors wherever possible. These savings derive from a strategy to work across the public and private sector to deliver counter fraud benefits for the whole of the UK economy. This is aligned to the Government’s Economic Crime Plan that sets out how both sectors will work together to tackle economic crime.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North East Somerset answering member printed Mr Jacob Rees-Mogg question first answered 19/04/2022 12:23:27 answering member 4099 label Biography information for Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg
