HC Deb 05 November 2002 vol 392 c222W
Mr. Webb

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer pursuant to his answer of 22 October 2002,Official Report, column 218W, on national insurance, how many letters have been sent to people that have been using incorrect national insurance numbers in the last (a) month, (b) six months and (c) year. [78575]

Dawn Primarolo

The Inland Revenue does not keep detailed records of the contents of a substantial number of letters received and sent every day. Most letters sent by our staff cover a range of issues relating to a customer's financial affairs that may include or relate to the use of the national insurance number (NINO). It would incur disproportionate cost to identify letters sent to people who have been using incorrect NINOs.
