Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the effect on the public purse of the liquidation of mini companies associated with the Anderson Group.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) does not comment on individual taxpayer cases. Where companies go into liquidation leaving unpaid debt to the Exchequer, HMRC will seek to maximise returns through use of its powers of recovery in appropriate cases, and by working closely with the liquidator.
