Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what representations he has received on the potential merits of introducing legislation to resolve the dispute between HMRC and the trustee and beneficiaries of the Roadchef Employee Benefits Trust.

The administration of the tax system is a matter for HM Revenue and Customs and it would not be appropriate for Treasury ministers to become involved in the administration of the tax system in specific cases.

The Chancellor has received representations from some Members of Parliament on introducing legislation to resolve the Roadchef dispute.

The Government keeps all tax legislation under regular review and any changes are considered in line with Government priorities.
