Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will require HMRC to make Common Reporting Standard data available to independent academic researchers in a suitably anonymised format.

Common Reporting Standard data is available to HMRC in an aggregated, anonymised format. However, there is a limit to what can be shared beyond HMRC as the data is provided by other countries under international legal agreements which contain strict rules about onward disclosure of information and must be respected.
