answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2016 answer text <p>The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) launched its dedicated reporting channel on 1 November 2011. The service was intended to encourage reports of serious or complex fraud by whistleblowers and accepted referrals by post, email and telephone. The SFO decided to close the telephone element of the service on 12 June 2012 because a disproportionate amount of staff time was being spent dealing with telephone calls that did not contribute to this aim.</p><p> </p><p>The total number of calls, emails and other referrals through the channel in each year since it was established is shown in the table below. These figures may include multiple reports from single individuals, or multiple referrals about the same matter received from different individuals. Referrals made through the dedicated reporting channel in November and December 2011 were not counted separately from other referrals to the SFO in those months.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total number of reports</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>2,731</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>2,996</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>3,001</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>3,163</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The SFO now offers guidance on its website as to how the public may best report any information it may have about fraud to the most appropriate law enforcement authority, including Action Fraud, which is the UK’s central reporting mechanism for fraud and cyber crime.</p><p>The SFO continues to receive and assess reports from the public sent directly to it via the online reporting tool, by email or post, or referred to it by other law enforcement and regulatory bodies.</p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 11/04/2016 10:41:39 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/04/2016 answer text <p>The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) is committed to ensuring that all of its key policies and programmes are based on high quality evidence and subject to robust monitoring and evaluation. The foundation for this vision was set out in the Department’s Evaluation Strategy published in December 2014 and the first update - BIS Evaluation Plan 2016.</p><p>A substantial amount of work is undertaken across the Department to better understand, and develop, the evidence underpinning investment options. For example, in preparation for Spending Review 2015, the Department thoroughly reviewed its evidence base, through Evidence Challenge Panels (ECP) and an Investment Gateway (IG) process. The ECP membership consisted of Directors of spend areas and provided senior peer review of work underway to address the key evidence gaps and to support longer term planning to develop BIS’ evidence base. The IG was set up to support prioritisation of spend and ensure investment decisions are based on robust business cases consisting of strategic, economic, financial, management and commercial assessments. The IG panel includes the chief analyst and DG finance. The ECP and IG in turn fed into the Department’s submissions to HM Treasury for the Spending Review.</p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 13/04/2016 11:40:33 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone
