Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will request that the European Commissioner for Competition investigate whether McDonald's has reduced its UK tax liability through an unlawful state aid agreement with Luxembourg.
As set out in its press release of 3 December, the European Commission has opened a formal investigation into Luxembourg’s tax treatment of McDonald’s. Treasury and HM Revenue and Customs officials will examine the Commission’s final decision when it is published.
