Rob Marris – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Rob Marris on 2016-02-02.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many cases of suspected VAT and customs fraud relating to online sales and imports have been the subject of a criminal investigation for possible referral to the Crown Prosecution Service in each of the last 10 years.

Mr David Gauke

To provide the answer to these questions would incur disproportionate cost. Data has not been captured centrally for the specific categories over the last 10 years.
