(asked on 27th May 2015) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what progress has been made in the inquiry into tax avoidance facilitated by HSBC.
This question was answered on 5th June 2015
In February 2015, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) received formal authorisation from our close partners in France to share the existing data for all criminal purposes within the UK. HMRC has engaged with key law enforcement partners.
Work is continuing to identify the potential for any action against those who have evaded their responsibilities or those who have facilitated tax evasion.
