Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the European Commission's proposals for Eurozone public country-by-country reporting for tackling multi-national tax avoidance.

The Government has set out its objective for a comprehensive and effective model of public country-by country reporting that is agreed on a multilateral basis.

The UK continues to play an active role in the discussions on the European Commission proposal with a view to delivering on that objective.
