Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether his Department plans to take further steps to tackle the UK's widening tax gap.

This Government is committed to continuing to tackle tax avoidance, evasion and non-compliance. The Government has secured almost £160 billion in additional tax revenues since 2010, and the UK’s tax gap is one of the lowest in the world at 6.5% in 2014-15, down from 7.2% in 2009-10.
