Asked by: David Crausby (Labour - Bolton North East)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans his Department has for debts owed to HMRC to be included in its new Breathing Space scheme.

The consultation closed on 29 January, and the Government intends to confirm its approach to these aspects of the scheme in its response.
