To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the contribution of the Financial Secretary to the Treasury of 3 February 2016, Official Report, column 975, what level of information has been disclosed to him in respect of Google’s tax return and the HM Revenue and Customs agreement with that company.

The information to which Ministers have access is the same as that in the public domain.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is responsible for the conduct of tax inquiries. Ministers are not privy to information about the individual tax arrangements of any company.
