Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of HM Revenue and Customs's ability to investigate whether there are grounds for it to recover tax revenue lost to alleged tax avoidance schemes promoted by the Anderson Group and other temporary recruitment agencies; and if he will make a statement.

During the last Parliament the Government announced over 35 measures and invested a further £800 million in HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) to tackle avoidance and evasion.

HMRC investigate all instances of tax avoidance and have robust compliance procedures in place to take action against any identified abuse.
