Tax Avoidance

Proceeding contribution from Ann McKechin (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 February 2015. It occurred during Opposition day on Tax Avoidance.

The Minister will be aware that in November 2012, a senior HMRC official who was being questioned by the Public Accounts Committee said that 12 prosecutions relating to HSBC cases were in line to be proceeded with. None of those prosecutions has been brought. Has the Minister received any explanation from HMRC as to why? Why did the Minister not, in turn, advise the House and the Public Accounts Committee of the change in tack?
