Tax Avoidance and Multinational Companies

Debate between Lindsay Hoyle and Richard Bacon

Wednesday 3rd February 2016 Commons Chamber

[Mr Bacon]

The Public Accounts Committee found that HMRC as a whole had only 65 specialists in transfer pricing, which was about the same as each of the big four accounting firms. Does the hon. Gentleman welcome this Government’s introduction of more transfer pricing specialists in HMRC?

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

Order. May I say to hon. Members who wish to speak but are now making interventions that I assume they will not mind if they go to the bottom of the list because they have almost used up their time?
