Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether his Department provides financial assistance for HMRC to help local businesses run (a) the small self-administered scheme and (b) other schemes.

This government has always provided HMRC with the resources it needs to carry out its responsibilities. At the 2015 Spending Review, the government invested £1.3 billion to transform HMRC to make it quicker and easier for customers to deal with HMRC.
