Provisions to enable this are now in the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Bill currently before Parliament.</p><p> </p><p>The research report also identified that there may be benefits for HMRC in such data sharing although, without further work, it was not possible to quantify these. HMRC will consider how to follow up this work.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 21/07/2014 15:33:18 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
