answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/04/2019 answer text <p>HMRC is reshaping to become a modern, flexible and cost-effective organisation, occupying fewer offices, and able to maximise revenue yield through increased compliance, greater capacity for digital business and by providing better, more personal services for its customers. Around 6,000 staff leave the department each year through resignations, retirements, and for other reasons. It is not possible to reliably calculate the exact number of years of experience which this equates to in any given year, as HMRC does not hold all the data necessary to adjust for those who are part-time, those who had career breaks, or those who worked other reduced working patterns.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 02/04/2019 15:12:03 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
