Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the quarterly publication of data by the Electoral Commission on political donations, whether he was aware at the time of appointment of Jayne-Ann Gadhia as Chair of HMRC that she had given more than £20,000 to the Conservative Party since the 2019 General Election.

This question was answered on 14th January 2021
Political donations made by Jayne-Anne Gadhia were fully disclosed in the course of a fair and open recruitment process conducted by HM Revenue and Customs. The department was not required to disclose to ministers political donations made by the successful applicant and, therefore, did not do so.

The Chancellor has not met Jayne-Anne Gadhia.
