Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the number of people on the PAYE system who voluntarily left their place of employment to start a new PAYE job between 28 February 2020 and 23 March 2020.

Unfortunately, due to data constraints, the requested analysis could not be completed by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) within the required timeframe. HMRC are therefore not able to provide information on individuals who changed employers.
