Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 30 November 2020 to Question 121034 on the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, when HMRC plans to publish the information on the companies that made claims under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme for periods starting on or after 1 December 2020; and how regularly that information will be published.

In line with the published direction, as part of HMRC’s commitment to transparency and to deter fraudulent claims, HMRC will publish information about employers who claim under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) for periods starting on or after 1 December. This will not cover employer details for use of the CJRS prior to December. The first of these publications will be made at the end of January and will be followed on a regular monthly basis subsequently.

The publication of information will be made in line with data protection law.
