Employment: Fraud

Asked by Mr Andrew SnowdenConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 12 March 2025UIN 36184

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will take legislative steps to criminalise people who knowingly mislead a potential employer with a misrepresentative CV.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

The Government’s key priorities within the Safer Streets Mission are to restore neighbourhood policing, tackle antisocial behaviour, and halve the levels of knife crime and violence against women and girls within a decade. We have no plans to divert policing resources to focus on the Hon Member’s suggested priority instead.
