The life sciences sector is among the most valuable and strategically important in the United Kingdom\u2019s economy. The latest edition of the Government\u2019s Life Sciences Competitiveness Indicators shows that in 2020, the UK ranked sixth out of 10 comparator countries for our share of patients recruited to a subset of commercial global studies for novel medicines. The UK also ranked seventh for the time taken between clinical trial application and first dose to first patient. This is up from tenth in 2019.<\/p>

The indicators also show that, in 2020, the UK pharmaceutical industry spent over £5 billion on research and development (R&D) and has consistently been the largest industry to spend on R&D in the UK, making up more than a fifth of all R&D performed by industry between 2014 and 2020.<\/p>

Any loss of life is a tragedy, and the Government takes issues relating to loss of life extremely seriously. On 6 January 2023, HM Revenue and Customs wrote to the Treasury Select Committee to inform them that ten referrals have been made to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) where a taxpayer has sadly taken their life and used a disguised remuneration scheme. HMRC made the first of these referrals to the IOPC in March 2019. Following referral HMRC has conducted internal investigations, eight investigations have concluded and there was no evidence of misconduct by any HMRC officer. Two investigations are currently ongoing. HMRC is committed to learning and making improvements so as to avoid causing undue stress and, wherever possible, identify taxpayers who need extra help and give them the support they need.<\/p>

<\/p>

Taxpayers are also supported by HMRC\u2019s Extra Support Teams. These are teams of trained advisors who, where appropriate, signpost taxpayers to Voluntary and Community organisations. To further improve the emotional support offered to taxpayers, HMRC and Samaritans are working together to deliver an 18-month project. As part of the pilot, Samaritans will further strengthen the capability and confidence of HMRC\u2019s Extra Support Teams by providing additional guidance and coaching techniques to identify taxpayers who might be in vulnerable circumstances. Where needed, HMRC will signpost taxpayers to specialist emotional support through a dedicated Samaritans helpline.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4399", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Victoria Atkins"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Louth and Horncastle"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Victoria Atkins"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-02-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-02-07T19:42:16.19Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-02-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Tax Avoidance: Suicide"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many people who were liable for the Loan Charge have taken their own lives.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4131", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jim Shannon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Strangford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jim Shannon"} ], "uin" : "137773"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1582725", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1582725/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
