Personation
John Robertson:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps she has considered to reduce the incidence of crime related to identity fraud. [199739]
Meg Hillier
[holding answer 21 April 2008]: Our plans for the national identity scheme will provide people with a highly secure means of protecting and proving their identity. We have already introduced new criminal offences, provided more powers to share data to combat fraud, ensured better co-ordination in prosecuting fraudsters, and worked in partnership with public and private sector organisations to raise public awareness.
