answer text: The information requested is not held centrally and to obtain it would incur disproportionate costs. Defra reports losses from error to the Public Sector Fraud Authority. We are unable to provide a breakdown of losses from administrative errors only – errors we report consist of aggregated losses arising from unintentional events, processing errors and official government errors. Data on fraud (including error) has only been published since 2017 and may be found in the Cross Government fraud landscape reports here: <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fcross-government-fraud-landscape-annual-report-2017&data=05%7C02%7Ccorporatepqs%40defra.gov.uk%7C9db3eea3a1584873e44208dc68fddc8a%7C770a245002274c6290c74e38537f1102%7C0%7C0%7C638500686738235582%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5Bga4Wga5LdP7olu0a2160pIkmVHBcdSmXxAQ7w7UDk%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank">Cross-government fraud landscape annual report 2017, <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fcross-government-fraud-landscape-annual-report-2018&data=05%7C02%7Ccorporatepqs%40defra.gov.uk%7C9db3eea3a1584873e44208dc68fddc8a%7C770a245002274c6290c74e38537f1102%7C0%7C0%7C638500686738246511%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=BAsEuNt1PADSmfejThbJYpY7CUsfjEeMmPFaTJAk9Gc%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank">Cross-government fraud landscape annual report 2018 , <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fcross-government-fraud-landscape-annual-report-2019&data=05%7C02%7Ccorporatepqs%40defra.gov.uk%7C9db3eea3a1584873e44208dc68fddc8a%7C770a245002274c6290c74e38537f1102%7C0%7C0%7C638500686738254558%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1h…
