What cross-Government work is being undertaken to help tackle identity fraud when no financial loss is incurred.

Reply

The Home Office is working across Government to consider whether to include initiatives to prevent the misuse of stolen identities and to strengthen protections for the public through the Government’s upcoming Fraud Strategy.We recognise the evolving nature and increasing prevalence of identity fraud and are taking additional proactive steps to address it. That is why the Independent Review of Disclosure and Fraud Offences will consider whether a specific offence for identity theft is needed.We have likewise announced a mandatory digital ID system which will enable people to prove their identity securely, without physical documents.It is also important to empower the public to protect themselves and keep their identities safe. That is why we have introduced a checklist, providing advice and steps on how to prevent the misuse of identities: Identity fraud victims' checklist.

If she will make an assessment of the potential merits of extending the period of duration for spousal visas.

Reply

A partner or spouse coming to or staying in the UK with their British or settled relative is granted permission for 33 or 30 months respectively. The temporary grant of permission allows the Home Office to confirm the relationship is ongoing and subsisting before an extension of permission to stay or settlement as a partner/spouse. The Government will set out its approach to future policy on a range of immigration policy areas in the upcoming Immigration White Paper which will be published later this year.
