Taxation: Capital Gains Tax

Lord Berkeley Excerpts

Tuesday 7th July 2015 Lords Chamber

[Lord Bridges of Headley]

I look forward to that great contribution, my Lords.

[Lord Berkeley (Lab)]

My Lords, given my noble friend’s question on tax avoidance and the Minister’s answer, how can he link this with the fact that the Inland Revenue has just lost 20% of its staff?

[Lord Bridges of Headley]

My Lords, I know that my right honourable friend the Chancellor will continue to ensure that HMRC has the assets and resources at its disposal to do what is required.
