    Approved a revised Benefits Prosecution Policy for the prosecution of benefit claimants, landlords, employees and members who had committed benefit fraud. Authorised the Fraud Manager to undertake court hearings and issue formal cautions and administrative penalties and staff within the Fraud Team to undertake investigations in fraud affecting all other District Council services and to report to the relevant Head of Service on the outcomes, findings and recommendations arising from these investigations.
