answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2017 answer text <p>HM Revenue &amp; Customs (HMRC) robustly pursues all tax due unless there are compelling reasons not to do so. Where it is discovered that tax is due or uncollected because of official error, HMRC will seek payment in the usual way where statutory time limits allow. The amount of debt remitted or written off each year is small in comparison to the record level of tax receipts.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 12/09/2017 12:50:50 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

It is therefore too soon to say who the successful supplier(s) will be. The responsibility for steel procurement on major shipbuilding programmes will lie with our prime contractor(s), who take into account cost, time and quality.</p><p>However, as part of our support for British steel manufacturers, new public procurement policy guidelines have been introduced, and UK steel suppliers will be strongly encouraged to bid in line with these. Going forward, the Ministry of Defence will continue to carry out early market engagement and forecast our steel requirements for shipbuilding through the publication of the UK Government Steel Pipeline.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 12/09/2017 13:49:30 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
