Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the average total processing time of applications for tax credits where the assessing officer has issued a request for additional documentation in respect of single person status and tax credits have been suspended pending examination of that documentation.
The vast majority of undeclared partner interventions are carried out at the post award stage and do not affect the processing time for new claims, therefore HMRC do not hold the data requested.
