Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 17 June 2021 to Question 15260 on Civil Service Agencies: Standards, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that fire and rehire is not being used as a negotiating tactic in HM Revenue and Customs; and if he will make a statement.

This question was answered on 9th July 2021
Current recruitment policy in place does not include firing and rehiring, and there are no plans to change this. HMRC have recognised unions (PCS and ARC) with whom they negotiate if the department wishes to make changes to terms and conditions.
