On Thursday 28 April 2016 Members will debate HM Revenue & Customs’ Building Our Future plan, following a successful Backbench Business Committee bid from Chris Stephens, SNP Member for Glasgow South West.
Members will debate the following motion:
“That this House has considered HM Revenue and Customs’ (HMRC) plan Building Our Future which will close most of its offices and make substantial staffing reductions; is concerned that this could seriously compromise the ability of HMRC to collect tax, enforce compliance and close the tax gap; believes the plan should have been subjected to parliamentary scrutiny; and calls on the Government to ensure that Building our Future is suspended until a comprehensive consultation and review has been undertaken.”
