Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will publish a timeframe for when his Department will respond to the call for evidence on the umbrella company market.

The Government recently ran a Call for Evidence on the umbrella company market to ensure it has a detailed and up to date understanding of the market. This Call for Evidence, which was issued jointly by HM Treasury, HMRC and BEIS, closed on 22 February 2022. Officials in the three departments are working closely together to consider the evidence submitted and will publish the Government's response in due course.
