While we welcome the steps the ICIJ has taken in exposing this issue, its decision not to release the full set of information is disappointing.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC has begun analytical work on all the data published by the ICIJ, in addition to a wide range of other intelligence. As a result of this, the HMRC and NCA taskforce has opened a number of detailed and forensic enquiries.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 26/05/2016 10:48:06 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
