False ID - Fraud Act reprimands and more

It is being reported in the MA that – in what will be a welcome move by the trade – that those found to be using false ID are being formally warned of having committed an offence under the Fraud Act. A further occurrence results in a reprimand and prosecution may follow thereafter. 

There have been reports of such action being taken in both Essex and Shrewsbury (where over 160 warning letters have apparently been dispatched).  Home Office officials are due to look at the Shrewsbury project which might herald a more widespread adoption.  We shall see.
