Contractors already provide this service at the majority of HMRC sites with these arrangements. The engagement of a specialist security supplier at all sites will provide HMRC with a consistent, standardised and responsive Access Control Service that will safeguard people, information and assets through a readily available, industry standard trained, specialist security workforce. The flexibility of the service will also enable HMRC to meet future service standards effectively.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 12/12/2017 14:48:49 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
