Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the independent review of the loan charge will cover the (a) current and (b) historic roles of (i) promoters, (ii) umbrella companies and (iii) HMRC; what steps she is taking to ensure the independence of the staff of the review; whether people who (A) work and (B) have worked for (1) HMRC and (2) her Department will be permitted to work for the review; and what steps she is taking to ensure the confidentiality of the conclusions and recommendations of the review until it is published.

At Budget, the Government committed to an independent review of the Loan Charge to help bring the matter to a close for those affected whilst ensuring fairness for all taxpayers.

Further details will be set out in due course.
