Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether HMRC officers are trained in respect on the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 including on data protection.
All HMRC officers are required to complete mandatory training on data protection, which includes topics such as data retention, the need for a legal basis for personal data processing, and the need to be aware of other relevant legislation.
HMRC does not mandate specific training on the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 but officers are able to access training on other areas according to need.
