Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 December 2024

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]

Contribution

With regard to Amendment 201, tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Lucas, attempted fraud can currently be reported to Action Fraud, the national reporting service for fraud and cybercrime. However, I can reassure the noble Lord that an improved service is being worked on, making the best use of technology to ensure the best experience for victims, intelligence for law enforcement and public data on fraud issues. All reports are analysed for intelligence that could support law enforcement in pursuing criminals and keeping the public safe. Key data, including outcomes, are published online and summarised in an interactive dashboard. I understand that further work is taking place on that improved service to replace Action Fraud. I therefore hope that the noble Lord will give the space for those proposals to come forward.
