answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2015 answer text <p>The European Anti Fraud Office (OLAF) report on food aid in Tindouf refugee camps was undertaken from 2003, drafted in 2007 and released in 2015 following an intervention by the EU Ombudsman. The report cites three key elements to the fraud: the diversion of food aid, the inflation of refugee numbers in camps and the use of unpaid labour. The evidence may encourage the European Commission to look at measures to reduce the risk of fraudulent practices.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 06/03/2015 12:39:24 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
