HC Deb 10 January 1990 vol 164 c629W
Mr. David Shaw

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will ensure the Inland Revenue publishes in its annual report on tax information summary details of High Court cases in which the Inland Revenue has sought to recover £1 million or more of tax revenue.

Mr. Lilley

Details of High Court cases in which the Inland Revenue is involved are already available to the general public.

Mr. David Shaw

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the results of those High Court cases in the last two years in which the Inland Revenue has sought to recover £5 million or more of tax revenue.

Mr. Lilley

The Inland Revenue does not keep statistics of the tax involved in High Court cases. The information requested could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
