Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps his Department are taking to improve information sharing across HMRC.

HMRC is working towards the implementation of its Data Strategy and policies to ensure that the organisation makes best use of its data in accordance with its intended purpose and in line with its statutory obligations. Recent improvements include establishing a data governance framework and enhancing capabilities within HMRC to better manage our data and to ensure the reliability, validity and integrity of the data is maintained.

We only share HMRC information where it is legal to do so to protect taxpayer confidentiality.
