Absolutely. Heaven forbid a trade body wanting to investigate on behalf of it's members though.

Investigate what? Databases of fraudulent activity are perfectly legal.

Nope.

Anyone who applies for a role via the can info the Information Commissioner about their concerns.

Would hope any such list is fully Data Protection compliant, assuming it isn't a figment of an agents imagination (which I suspect it is). One for IPSE?

Saying that, the actual vetting schemes probably keep a record of anyone who lies.

Agency Fraud Blacklist?

This idea has been done on here a few times. Came across this from an agency called ECS.

Please note our fraud prevention process relating to all job applications
Fraud prevention databases have been established for the purpose of allowing employers to share data on their employment fraud cases. Should any investigation identify fraud or the commission or any other offence by you when applying or during your engagement with ECS, we will record the details of this on the relevant fraud prevention databases. This information may be accessed from the UK and other countries and used by law enforcement agencies, other employers and potential employers to prevent fraud

Question is : what defines 'fraud'? Anything these people say it is? Are they breaking the data protection act? Have you used these people before?
