The Home Office only collects data on the number of incidents of frauds, with no breakdown currently available for enablers used to commit them.</p><p>The Joint Fraud Taskforce, which brings together government, law enforcement and industry is considering options to reduce social engineering, alongside other initiatives to combat fraud more broadly.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 10/10/2016 13:13:08 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
