We wrote to the Department, following our evidence session on 7 April, to obtain greater clarity on the value of losses to fraud that have since been recovered. We specifically requested the value of losses recovered which were incurred due to suspected fraud within the BBLS. We requested that this be split by method of recovery, distinguishing between amounts recovered by lenders, and those recovered by other enforcement activity. The Department responded that £130 million paid to lenders under the guarantee had subsequently been repaid by them, but it could not confirm how much of this £130 million related to cases of suspected fraud, or how much related to lender recoveries or Department-led enforcement activities.53
