HM Revenue and Customs

Proceeding contribution from Ian Liddell-Grainger (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 March 2011. It occurred during Estimates day on HM Revenue and Customs.
Is the hon. Gentleman aware that the Revenue has just been fined £1.6 million for sloppy data handling and processing? When people asked why that had been a problem, they were told that it was too expensive to find out what the problem was. The hon. Gentleman is right. Is the problem due to a lack of skills, a lack of training or a lack of people? It must be one of the three, or perhaps all three.
