answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2017 answer text <p>The full force of the law should be used to pursue, and prosecute individuals who choose to commit fraud. Whilst it is down to Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners to set local priorities for their force area, I recognise that driving up the law enforcement response to fraud at national, regional and local levels must be a priority. Through the Joint Fraud Taskforce, we are working with the City of London Police, the national lead force for fraud, to establish a consistent and transparent approach to fraud across all police forces.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 10/07/2017 15:27:40 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace
