Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 September 2026

Debate

International Financial Fraud

Contribution

I have seen the report. I disagree with the noble Baroness’s suggestion that we would prioritise political decision-making. Let me just touch on what the Government have done. In terms of fraud action, there are 400 new specialist investigators at the national fraud squad. We have established the National Cyber Security Centre and its early warning service. We have established the Online Crime Centre with the NCA as a public/private initiative. The measures in the Online Safety Act to protect against fraud are now being fully implemented. We have funded the UN and Interpol’s Global Fraud Summit. This Government are doing more than just talking; we are taking action.
