Martin attended questions to the Home Department today to ask the Minister if more was being done to improve coordination between Action Fraud and local forces. The Minister responding, Ben Wallace MP, assured Martin that he would discuss the issue with Action Fraud during his next meeting with the UK's national fraud and cyber crime reporting centre.
Martin Vickers (Cleethorpes) (Con)
Two of my constituents have been defrauded of in excess of £60,000, and their cases are not helped by the lack of co-ordination between Action Fraud and the local force. They are unable to get updates on the investigation. What can be done to improve that co-ordination?
The Minister for Security (Mr Ben Wallace)
Following my hon. Friend’s contribution at the previous Home Office questions, I will be visiting Action Fraud to take up his specific case, and more generally to discuss how Action Fraud deals with constituents and inquiries from Members, to make sure that the service is improved.
