Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the Government plans to provide the independent review of the loan charge with data on recent trends in the level of suicides from people subject to the loan charge.

The Government takes issues relating to loss of life or serious injury extremely seriously.

It is for the independent reviewer to decide how to conduct the review.

As the terms of reference set out, the reviewer is expected to draw upon information and analysis provided by HM Treasury and HMRC during the review. HM Treasury and HMRC must make all possible efforts to support the review team’s work by providing them with any information that they request in a timely fashion unless there is a legal reason not to.
