Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what provisions her Department has in place to (a) receive and (b) share tax return data with HMRC for immigration enforcement.
The Home Office and HMRC have a long-established relationship underpinned by a single Partnership Agreement. The Partnership Agreement sets out the framework under which HMRC and the Home Office work together. Sitting under this Partnership Agreement are a number of Memorandums of Understanding regarding the sharing of data for immigration enforcement purposes.
In accordance with such arrangements, the Home Office has policies and procedures in place to support fulfilling its data protection obligations when processing personal data.
