Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Andrew Percy and Mel Stride

Tuesday 22nd May 2018 Commons Chamber

[Mel Stride]

HMRC is doing a great deal, as I have already outlined to the hon. Gentleman, in terms of making sure that the correct information is provided. Overpayments do not solely emanate from HMRC; there is of course customer error and there can be negligence or a failure to report a change of circumstances. But I can assure the hon. Gentleman that HMRC is always sympathetic and careful in its approach to anybody in the kind of situation he described.
