PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(17 June 2025)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate her Department has made of the number of fraudulent insurance claims that have been made by people who stage road traffic collisions to gain compensation there have been in the last 12 months.

Asked by:
Mr Paul Kohler (Liberal Democrat)

The Government recognises the harm caused by these types of fraudulent claims. This is why we have launched an Insurance Fraud Charter with key insurance firms to agree a series of voluntary measures to reduce fraud against the sector and consumers.

The National Fraud Intelligence Bureau reports that there has been 118 reports of Insurance related Fraud in the past 13 months.
