Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether his Department has received recent representations on the provision of HMRC employment data to airports for the purpose of facilitating employment checks.

HMRC has received representation from the industry and is working closely with the Department of Transport. HMRC has provided support and guidance to the industry that allows employees to present their employment history to prospective employers and, on Monday 25 July, will enhance the employment history service within the Personal Tax Account to make the process easier. HMRC has an equivalent process for those customers unable to use the digital service.
