Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much has accrued to the public purse in the form of (a) corporation tax, (b) personal tax and (c) National Insurance from the Ministry of Defence’s Astute submarine programme to date.
The requested amounts are not available as HMRC does not know how much taxable profits of companies and/or how much earnings of workers relate to the work they did for these programmes rather than other things.
