HL Deb 25 May 1993 vol 546 c10WA
Lord Molloy

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they intend to privatise the services of the Inland Revenue.

The Earl of Caithness

In common with other government departments, the Inland Revenue have in hand a significant programme of market testing; appropriate services will be contracted out to the private sector where this gives the best value for money.
