Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has made of the cost of (a) the replacement of and (b) planned privatisations within the HMRC IT Aspire contract.
This question was answered on 8th February 2016
At the Public Accounts Committee hearing of 16 March 2015, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) advised that the transition cost for the entire business case will be about £600 million.
The Business Case setting out the options for the replacement of the Aspire contract is currently subject to formal governance processes, and as such HMRC cannot discuss future plans.
